bone tumour (medicine)


bone tumour
<oncology> A general term that includes both malignant growths (cancer) and benign growths in bone.

most cancer in bone tissue is secondary to spread (metastasis) from a distant primary cancer (for example prostate cancer). Primary bone cancer (for example osteogenic sarcoma) or cancer that arises from the bone cells, is relatively rare.
