The most common types include osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and chondrosarcoma. Symptoms often include localized pain, swelling, and fractures. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs and a biopsy for confirmation. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, depending on the cancer type and stage. Early detection and a comprehensive treatment plan are crucial for improving outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for those affected.
