What are the chances of surviving osteosarcoma

As we all know, osteosarcoma is extremely malignant, and its incidence ranks first among primary malignant tumors. Due to people's lack of understanding of osteosarcoma, many patients have a fear of osteosarcoma. In addition, osteosarcoma is easy to spread and metastasize, which brings great pain to patients and greatly increases the difficulty of treatment. For patients diagnosed with osteosarcoma, the most concerned issue is what is the chance of survival of osteosarcoma? Let's take a look at it together.

The survival rate of osteosarcoma is related to many factors, such as the patient's own physical constitution, symptoms and treatment methods. Experts say that since each patient's immune function is different, the ability to withstand treatment is also different. Even the treatment of osteosarcoma is a systematic process involving many factors. The survival rate of late-stage osteosarcoma needs to be comprehensively considered from the patient's own physical constitution, treatment methods and effects.

But generally speaking, the five-year survival rate of osteosarcoma patients who have received standard treatment has reached 70-80%, and 90% of patients can save their limbs. After osteosarcoma metastasizes to the lungs, metastases can still be removed by high-dose chemotherapy, and the five-year survival rate can reach about 30%.

With the continuous development of medicine, the level of medical technology is also constantly improving. Cancer is no longer the fatal disease it used to be. After active and effective treatment, many patients have survived for 20 to 30 years. Therefore, even if osteosarcoma is diagnosed, we still need to actively treat it and never give up. Because if we insist on active treatment, the survival rate of osteosarcoma is still very high.
