Bone cancer can be divided into the following categories, each with its own common location and age group:

1. Malignant osteosarcoma: It accounts for about half of all bone cancers and is the most common childhood bone cancer. It often occurs in adolescents between the ages of ten and twenty, which may be related to the rapid growth of bone tissue at this stage. It often occurs at the ends of long bones, and about 50% are located near the knees, causing pain, swelling, and even fractures. At the time of diagnosis, a small number of bone cancer cells may have metastasized to the lungs and need to be treated as soon as possible.

2. Ewing's sarcoma: It often occurs between the ages of 4 and 25. It is the second most common childhood bone cancer. Ewing's sarcoma often occurs in the central part of the shaft of long bones and flat bones. It often causes local swelling and discomfort and intermittent pain, and is accompanied by high fever and weight loss. It may metastasize to the lungs, bones, and bone marrow.

3. Chondrosarcoma: It mostly occurs in adults over 30 years old, and rarely in children, but it may also occur. The lesions occur in the cartilage and cause tender lumps. The most common sites are the pelvis, knees, upper femur, ribs or shoulders.

4. Others: Other bone tumors include fibrosarcoma, giant cell tumor, adamantinoma, etc., which are some less common bone tumors.
