For example, if the tumors are located in or near the joints, there might be swelling or tenderness in that area. Bone cancer also interferes with one's movements, and it weakens the bones which could also lead to fracture.

The type of bone cancer that develops in new tissues in growing bones is called osteosarcoma. And this type is the most common. There's also another type of bone cancer which is called chondrosarcoma, and this one occurs in the cartilage. And yet another type, called the Ewing's sarcoma, starts in immature nerve tissue in the bone marrow.

I've heard that Osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma have the tendency to occur more frequently in children and teenagers. Chondrosarcoma, on the other hand, is the one that occurs more often among adults.
