Can osteosarcoma be cured? How to cure osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma, like other malignant tumors, cannot be completely cured. However, through effective control and active treatment, patients can survive without tumors, which is also a cure in clinical practice. Through standardized treatment, local tumors and even metastatic lesions can be controlled or treated, so that patients can have a better quality of life. Close follow-up is performed at any time to keep a high degree of vigilance for recurrence and distant metastasis, and corresponding treatment is taken at any time to achieve better control of tumors.

Osteosarcoma is one of the diseases that often occur in daily life. It is one of the diseases that can cause great trouble to patients. Its symptoms such as pain, weight loss, anemia, etc. can have a certain impact on the patient's physical health and quality of life. Moreover, this disease is more common in adolescents or children under the age of 20. So can osteosarcoma be cured?
Osteosarcoma is a malignant tumor of the orthopedics, which usually occurs in young people. The initial symptoms are usually joint pain accompanied by limited mobility. If an X-ray examination is performed, it will be found that the bone is obviously destroyed. At this time, it is necessary to choose whether to save the limb or amputate the limb according to the patient's age and physical condition. How large the amputation should be. The patient needs radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery.
The more common treatment methods include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgical resection, etc. (the effectiveness of immunotherapy is still unclear), but patients should pay attention to choosing the appropriate treatment method based on their actual condition, or patients can also listen to the doctor's advice, which is also acceptable.
Osteosarcoma is a malignant tumor that is difficult to treat. Osteosarcoma is prone to hematogenous metastasis in the early stage, and it is difficult to cure it completely. For those who can be cured by surgery, surgical radical cure is the main treatment. Chemotherapy and local radiotherapy can be used after surgery to control the progression of the disease. If there is no recurrence for more than 5 years, clinical cure can be achieved, but there is still a possibility of recurrence later. Whether it can be cured depends on the patient's clinical stage and the effect of treatment. It is possible to achieve clinical cure at a very early stage. However, most of them are discovered in the middle and late stages, and even if surgical treatments such as amputation are performed, the effect is not very good. Most of them survive within 1-2 years.
In addition to these, patients with this disease should not only adjust their mentality to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, but also take appropriate measures to prevent the occurrence of this disease. Patients should pay more attention to their daily lives, and regular physical examinations can ensure their own health or early detection of diseases.
