What is Bone Tumor?

Bone tumors occur when cells within a bone divide rapidly, resulting in a lump or mass (tumor). They can be cancerous or non-cancerous. Bone tumors can originate from the bone or be caused by another cancer that has spread to the bone.The exact cause for "primary" bone tumors (arising from the bone's own cells) is unknown. Possible risk factors include genetics, previous radiation therapy, bone traumas, anticancer medications, etc.

  • Do you have lower back pain?

  • Have you ever had cancer?

  • Do you experience back pain?
