Bone Cancer of the Ankle
Posted: 07-10-07 09:08am

Is that a common part of the body where bone cancer occurs? And how treatable it is?

One of three main types of bone cancer is chondrosarcoma, that arises from cartilage of joints, including ankle joint cartilage. It's a malignant tumor that's treatable with surgery.
