Radiation-Related Bone Sarcoma Studies in Patients

Abstract

Stephan Dreyer*

Two uncommon genetic disorders, Li-Fraumeni syndrome and hereditary retinoblastoma, raise the risk of bone cancer in families. Paget's illness affects the bones. The risk of developing bone cancer in later life is increased by Paget's disease of the bone, which is most common in elderly people. Osteosarcoma is the most prevalent type of bone cancer. This tumor's cancerous cells produce bone. This kind of bone cancer most frequently affects the bones of the leg or arm in children and young adults. Rarely, osteosarcomas can spread outside of bones.
