A review of osteosarcoma treatment methods

Osteosarcoma, everyone is unfamiliar with the word, but if someone in the family suffers from osteosarcoma, the whole family will fall into pain, the patient will be in unbearable pain, and in severe cases will have to undergo amputation, and even threaten life and health. Family members will seek medical treatment everywhere and seek various treatments. Let me introduce a review of osteosarcoma treatment methods.

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.

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