How to treat osteosarcoma

Many friends have never heard of osteosarcoma. Many friends feel very scared after suffering from osteosarcoma and bear a great psychological burden. In fact, there is no need to worry. Go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible, and your body will be healthy sooner. So how to treat osteosarcoma? Let's learn about it today.

Osteosarcoma, also known as osteogenic sarcoma, is a common malignant bone tumor that occurs in adolescents or children under the age of 20. It is the most common bone malignancy in children, accounting for about 5% of pediatric tumors. Osteosarcoma is the most common type of bone malignancy. It develops from the mesenchymal cell line. The rapid growth of the tumor is due to the direct or indirect formation of tumor bone-like tissue and bone tissue through the cartilage stage. Under the influence of external factors (such as viruses), the weight-bearing bones of the lower limbs cause cell mutations, which may be related to the formation of osteosarcoma.

The rapid growth of the tumor is due to the direct or indirect formation of tumor bone-like tissue and bone tissue through the cartilage stage. Under the influence of external factors (such as viruses), the weight-bearing bones of the lower limbs cause cell mutations, which may be related to the formation of osteosarcoma. The typical osteosarcoma originates from the bone. Another completely different type is the osteosarcoma that is parallel to the bone cortex and originates from the periosteum and nearby connective tissue. The latter is less common and has a slightly better prognosis.

After osteosarcoma is diagnosed by pathology, early chemotherapy or radiotherapy begins. Resection of tumor tissue is an important step in the treatment of osteosarcoma. With the improvement of tumor surgical technology and the development of implant research, limb preservation therapy has shown a good treatment prospect. Consolidation chemotherapy or radiotherapy after tumor tissue resection is very important for controlling tumor metastasis and improving survival rate. Radical surgery should be performed for the treatment of osteosarcoma. If conditions permit, local wide resection can be performed to preserve the limbs.

Osteosarcoma is best treated with a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, and the best effect is achieved by doing it at the same time. Western medicine surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy alone have great toxic side effects, so it is best to use non-toxic green therapy Chinese medicine while receiving Western medicine treatment. This can not only reduce the toxic side effects of Western medicine treatment and consolidate the condition, but also relieve symptoms, control the progression of the disease, and improve the patient's quality of life.
