Bone contains specialized cells that deposit new bone tissue or resorb old tissue. Bone cancer develops as a result of acquired genetic mutations to bone cells, leading to rapid and constant cell proliferation and the growth of tumors. Bone cancer growth begins in one region, but if left untreated or undetected the cancer can spread to multiple tissues in a process called metastasis. Patients with metastatic bone cancer may receive several cancer treatments to halt additional cancer spread or to relieve pain and suffering.
