You can't prevent bone cancer from happening. Lifestyle changes together with an early detection and treatment can only lead to successful treatment. The cause of primary bone cancer is unknown. Genetics play a major role in most cases. Conditions that cause increased bone breakdown and regeneration over an extended period of time increase the risk of tumor development.
There are some factors that increase the chance for developing bone cancer:
injury, radiation, family history of bone cancer.
