Welcome to HealthCareMagic. Your query has been assigned to me and I am happy to assist you today for the health issues you raised.


No there is no possibility of spread of that primary cancer from knee to other areas of the body. The patient must have undergone above knee amputation of the leg and his lesion was removed alongwith that. Now there are no chnaces for spread of that primary disease.

But cancer is due to the gene mutations and due to that cells start growing at uncontrolled pace. If the same gene mutations happen once again, there may be appearance of tumor in body elsewhere especially if the previous one was from the origin of bone marrow. A consultation form an Oncologist is needed for proper care.
