Bone cancer is a rare type of cancer that can affect any bone in the body. The most common symptom of bone cancer is pain, which can be mild or severe and may worsen at night or when the bone is used. Other symptoms of bone cancer may include:

• Swelling and tenderness near the affected area
• Weakened bone, leading to fracture
• Fatigue
• Unintended weight loss

In some cases, a lump or swelling may be felt on or around the affected bone, and the cancer can weaken the bone, causing it to break easily after a minor injury or fall. Bone cancer can also cause numbness, tingling, or weakness in different parts of the body, depending on where the tumor is located.

Its important to note that bone pain and other symptoms can be caused by many conditions other than bone cancer, such as injuries or arthritis. However, if you or your child experiences persistent, severe, or worsening bone pain, or if youre worried about any symptoms, its important to see a doctor so the cause can be found and treated, if needed.
