Will osteosarcoma metastasize? How does osteosarcoma metastasize?

In the early stage of the disease, osteosarcoma will not metastasize after active treatment and control of the disease. If the disease develops to the middle or late stage, metastasis often occurs, and the more common ways of metastasis are hematogenous metastasis and lymphatic metastasis.

1. Will osteosarcoma metastasize? <br/>When osteosarcoma is still in the early stage of the disease, active treatment will inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and control the reproduction of cancer cells, and it will generally not metastasize. If the treatment is not timely or the treatment method is inappropriate, the osteosarcoma will worsen and metastasis will occur when it enters the middle and late stages, affecting multiple organs of the body. At this time, the difficulty of treatment will increase, and the patient's survival period will often be shortened.
2. Metastasis of osteosarcoma <br/>When osteosarcoma is serious, cancer cells will enter the blood circulation system and metastasize to other parts of the body. The most common metastatic site is the lungs. When osteosarcoma develops to the late stage, the proximal lymph nodes of the affected area will enlarge, which indicates that lymph node metastasis has occurred.
