Common methods of treating osteosarcoma

Mentioning osteosarcoma makes people feel scared, because once suffering from osteosarcoma, the patient's life may end at any time, and the incidence of osteosarcoma has continued to increase in recent years, which has brought pain to patients and their families. Although the incidence is increasing, there are also many ways to treat osteosarcoma. So let us learn about the common methods of treating osteosarcoma.

There are many steps in the treatment of osteosarcoma, such as imaging examination, puncture or biopsy, clinical diagnosis, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, surgery, postoperative chemotherapy, and handling of various complications and unexpected situations. Each step has many details, and details determine success or failure, as well as the treatment efficacy of patients.

1. During imaging examination and diagnosis, it is necessary to understand in detail the different significance of the bone and soft tissue boundary reaction zones of osteosarcoma, which is crucial for judging the effectiveness of osteosarcoma surgery and neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

2. Puncture and biopsy seem simple, but many orthopedic surgeons often violate the operating principles, such as incorrect puncture or biopsy approach, violation of the compartment requirements for the biopsy approach, and failure to pay attention to the fact that each layer of the biopsy must be sutured tightly.

3. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy requires large doses and detoxification treatment. The success or failure of treating chemotherapy complications determines the patient's life.

4. Surgery must be performed outside the tumor to reduce recurrence. Surgical techniques require more attention to detail and long-term experience. Failure to pay attention to details can lead to serious consequences.

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.

The above are common methods for treating osteosarcoma. I hope they are helpful to you and I wish the patients a speedy recovery.
