	Dr. Koop - Bone Cancer- Health Encyclopedia and Reference
		Cancer that begins in the bone is called primary bone cancer.
		Primary bone cancer is relatively uncommon in comparison with secondary or metastatic cancer (cancer that occurs initially in another organ and then spreads to bone tissue).
		Cancer that spreads is the same disease and has the same name as the original (or primary) cancer.

	Bone Cancer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Cancerous lesions of the bone present most commonly between 2-8 years of age, with 7 years being the average age for presentation.
		Bone scans (nuclear scintigraphy) may be helpful for locating sites of other bone lesions caused by metastases, however, fewer than 10% of dogs usually show detectable evidence of secondary bone metastases by either of these methods.
		It is possible that stimulation of genetically (either inherited or acquired) abnormal bone cells during rapid growth or incidences of bone repair may induce the development of osteosarcomas.

	The Greyhound Trust (Oxford) Bone Cancer
		Bone tumours can be intensely painful, so much so that the dog can be severely affected by this and lameness, inappetence, 'grumpy' and generally poorly are common signs.
		The majority of bone tumours are of the type known as osteosarcoma - this is a malignant tumour arising from the bone cells themselves.
		Almost all bone tumours of the legs are malignant (cancerous) and therefore have the potential to spread.

		Mature bones are made up of three types of tissue: compact tissue (the hard outer portion of most bones); cancellous tissue (spongy tissue inside the bones that contains bone marrow, which makes blood cells); and subchondral tissue (smooth bone tissue of the joints).
		Cancer that arises in the bone (primary bone cancer) is not the same disease as cancer that spreads to the bone from another part of the body (secondary bone cancer).
		Various forms of cancer treatments using surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy for bone cancer are being tested in clinical trials.

	Bone Cancer
		Cancer may start in the bones and spread to other parts of the body, or start elsewhere, then invade the bones.
		The cause of bone cancer is unknown although certain factors are thought to increase the risk of developing this type of cancer and include bone trauma, bone disease, bone fractures, and radiation exposure.
		Bone Marrow Transplant: In this form of therapy, which is sometimes used for multiple myeloma, diseased or damaged bone marrow is replaced with healthy marrow, usually from a donor.

	Sloan-Kettering - Bone Cancer
		Bone cancer can occur in any of the bones of the body, but it occurs most often in the long bones of the arms and legs.
		Although most people with bone cancer do not have any obvious risk factors, excessive exposure to radiation (such as that from radiation therapy for another cancer) and heredity have been implicated in some patients with osteosarcoma.
		The most common symptom of bone cancer is pain, which is caused either by the spread of the tumor or by the breaking of bone that is weakened by a tumor.

		Flat bones include those in the skull, vertebrae and ribs, while long bones are found in the extremities.
		The long shaft of a bone is called the "diaphysis', and the area between the epiphysis and diaphysis is called the "metaphysis." These areas are important to know since particular bone tumors have a predilection to arise in particular areas of the bone, as will be seen.
		The types of cancer that arise from these are lymphomas, leukemias, and myelomas, are are NOT considered primary bone cancer; they are different topics.

	Bone Cancer
		A secondary "restructuring" of bone occurs through puberty and young adulthood, where the initial calcified bone is re-absoted cells called "osteoclasts." The restructured bone is then laid down by osteoblasts in "Haversian Canals" which are cylindrical, run along the long axis of the bone, and resemble cement rods.
		While the outer shell, or "Otable" of each bone is the hard cortex, the inside of both flat and long bones is made of up the soft "marrow." The marrow is basically little spicules of bone with blood forming cells clinging to them, so it is very rich in blood.
		The laying down of calcium in bone also requires active vitamin D, and a shortage of this during childhood results in "rickets." Vitamin D is converted from its dietary to active form by sunlight, but only requires a very brief exposure.
