Understanding treatment for bone sarcoma

Orthopedic Oncology is a medical term used to describe bone cancer. In the pelvic region and the long bones of the arms and legs, bone cancer can begin in any bone in any part of the body. It is a rare type of cancer, and the cause is still unknown, although hereditary factors and previous exposure to radiation may play a role.
