What is bone skin cancer?

Bone skin cancer develops when the cells that form bone substance degenerate and is called osteosarcoma. These original cells are called osteoblasts and are found in the periosteum, among other areas. However, the same type of cancer can also develop within the bone.

This type of cancer is characterized by a high growth rate, which can lead to pain due to overstretching, especially in the area of the periosteum. Depending on localization, size and various other factors, surgical therapy in combination with chemotherapy can achieve a high success rate.
