Bone cancer

This section is for people looking for information on Bone Cancer as a Primary Cancer. There are several types of Primary Bone Cancer and all of them are rare.

The most common type of bone cancer is osteosarcoma.

CancerhelpUK gives a clear description of the difference between Primary and Secondary Bone Cancer.

As with all rare cancers, treatments are not necessarily provided within Sussex Cancer Network. It could be in a hospital outside this area, possibly in London, which has a specialist centre within it.

This ensures that such treatments only take place at centres of excellence, where the doctors see enough patients to provide an expert service.
