Treatment of osteosarcoma

When it comes to tumor diseases, people are always afraid of them. The reason for this is often that once this type of disease occurs, the patient's life may end at any time. Clinically, the incidence rate of osteosarcoma has been high. Although the incidence rate of osteosarcoma is very high, there are many treatments for this disease. Next, let us learn about the treatments of osteosarcoma.

The main methods of treating osteosarcoma are as follows:

1. Radiotherapy. In the past, people often believed that osteosarcoma was not sensitive to radiotherapy, which means that the treatment effect was not ideal. Therefore, radiotherapy was rarely used as a means of treating osteosarcoma. However, it is now generally believed clinically that radiotherapy is very effective in treating osteosarcoma, so it is a good treatment method worthy of patients' choice.

2. Chemotherapy. In clinical practice, many tumor diseases are often treated with chemotherapy. The treatment of osteosarcoma is no exception. Chemotherapy can also be used to treat osteosarcoma, but in terms of therapeutic effect, this method still needs further investigation and research, because there is no mature chemotherapy regimen for the treatment of osteosarcoma.

3. Surgical resection treatment. After the patient is diagnosed with osteosarcoma, local large-scale resection, segmental resection or amputation can be considered according to the patient's specific condition. For most osteosarcoma surgeries, we should strive for local complete resection. For recurrent cases or cases with high primary malignancy and rapid development, amputation or joint dissection can be performed.

Regarding the treatment of osteosarcoma, patients must first have the courage to accept it, and then face it with the right attitude. Secondly, they must choose the appropriate method to treat osteosarcoma. Psychological "treatment" has a great impact on osteosarcoma. At present, the better method for treating osteosarcoma in clinical practice is surgical resection.
