Correctly understand the hazards of osteosarcoma

Everyone is familiar with osteosarcoma. It is very harmful to us and often occurs in teenagers. It is the most common malignant, primary bone tumor, but many people do not correctly understand the harm of osteosarcoma. I have collected a lot of information. Now let's learn about the correct understanding of the harm of osteosarcoma together!

The hazards of osteosarcoma are as follows:

The main site of osteosarcoma is the lower limbs, especially around the knee joints, where unexplained joint pain may occur. However, teenagers are more active in their daily lives and are bound to have bumps and bruises, so the pain caused by the tumor can easily be mistaken for normal growing pains or sprains. In fact, adolescent osteosarcoma has its own characteristics, and early detection can avoid missing the opportunity for treatment.

For teenagers, one of the biggest characteristics of osteosarcoma is that it develops suddenly. It starts with intermittent pain, soreness, and dull pain around the joints. Painkillers are effective. As the disease worsens, the pain becomes severe and unbearable and lasts longer. Painkillers are ineffective, and the pain radiates to other parts of the body, especially at night. Joint movement is limited, joint pain worsens during exercise, and the affected joints cannot be touched or moved at all.

Osteosarcoma, like other malignant tumors, is a serious threat to health. However, unlike other tumors, osteosarcoma is more common in adolescents. It is the most common malignant, primary bone tumor, with high malignancy and rapid development. If not treated properly, the tumor will metastasize to the lungs within six months to a year, leading to the patient's death.

The above is an introduction to the dangers of osteosarcoma. Through this introduction, I believe more friends will realize the dangers of osteosarcoma. Therefore, we must improve our own quality and prevent it. Go to a regular hospital for treatment in time. The doctor will develop the most scientific, reasonable and appropriate treatment plan based on the patient's condition. Do not delay the best treatment time.
