Cancer types
Primary bone cancer
This section will help you to find out more about primary bone cancer and the help and support available for anyone affected by them.
Primary bone cancer starts in the bone and is not the same as secondary bone cancer.
Secondary bone cancer is where the cancer starts in a different part of the body and spreads to the bone. You can find out more in our secondary bone cancer section.
If you have been affected by cancer in some way and would like to talk to someone about what you have read or need help finding information - you are welcome to drop into any Maggie’s Centre or to visit Maggie’s Online Centre and talk with a cancer support specialist.
