Cancers arising from bone or cartilage account for about 0.5% of all malignant neoplasms in humans. This chapter reviews the epidemiology of bone cancer. Topics covered include demographic patterns, environmental factors, genetic susceptibility, and prevention.
Keywords: bones, cancer risk, cancer epidemiology, cancer prevention, cartilage
