Bone tumours
Most bone tumours encountered in clinical practice are secondaries (i.e. metastases from primary cancer that started elsewhere), and it is incorrect to refer to these as ‘bone cancer’. Doctors use the term bone tumours to refer to tumours which arise in the bone from the start, rather than those which are secondary to another form of cancer. This point is of importance as the methods and data outlined in this section do not apply to secondary bone cancers/metastases.
