Does adolescent osteosarcoma affect life expectancy?

The body is our capital, and health is what we pursue. However, we all know that various factors can lead to the occurrence of diseases. Everyone hopes to stay away from diseases. We should pay more attention to physical discomfort in our daily lives, and check and treat early. Now let’s talk about whether adolescent osteosarcoma affects life expectancy:

Osteosarcoma should be treated surgically whenever possible. Surgery must be radical resection to avoid local recurrence. Currently, limb salvage has become the main surgical procedure for osteosarcoma, but when limb salvage is not suitable or unconditional, amputation should be performed decisively. Chemotherapy is not necessary before surgery, but standardized chemotherapy must be performed after surgery.

The characteristic of osteosarcoma is that tumor cells directly form bone-like tissue, so it is also called osteosarcoma. However, osteosarcoma cannot be ruled out even if the bone formation process of the tumor is not obvious. The survival period of bone cancer patients is generally three years, five years, and ten years, which refers to survival of three years, five years, and ten years or more after surgery, respectively. The medical community has its corresponding cure standards for different degrees of cancer. Regarding the issue of patient survival, it also depends on the individual. Some people with better postoperative effects can live like normal people, and can live to 70, 80 years old or even older like normal people. For the treatment of cancer, the key lies in early detection and the patient's positive attitude.

However, due to the emergence of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, especially with adequate doses and reasonable regimens, the survival rate has been significantly improved. The efficacy of osteosarcoma is evaluated by the statistical 5-year survival rate. Under the most scientific and reasonable treatment, the 5-year survival rate of osteosarcoma can reach more than 70%, and patients who live for more than 5 years have a more than 90% chance of long-term survival. From our experience, osteosarcoma is most likely to recur and metastasize within 2 years after treatment. If there is no recurrence and metastasis within 2 years, it is basically possible to control it. The recurrence rate five years after surgery is relatively high. Regular follow-up and regular medication are required after surgery. The difficulty of tumor treatment lies in the easy recurrence and metastasis. Patients can take anti-cancer Chinese patent medicine oral liquid, which is safe, inhibits and eliminates tumors while improving immunity, regulating internal balance, and fundamentally preventing recurrence and metastasis.

Some osteosarcoma patients fail to detect their condition after recurrence and miss the best time for treatment, which leads to worsening of the condition. At this time, their lives may be in danger at any time. The treatment of osteosarcoma recurrence is the same as the treatment of osteosarcoma. It is important to take systematic treatment in the early stage and pay attention to the psychological care of patients with osteosarcoma recurrence.

1. Osteosarcoma is still a malignant tumor with a high mortality rate among children and adolescents, but early detection and timely treatment have greatly improved the survival rate of the disease.

2. 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.

3. Radical surgery should be performed to treat osteosarcoma. If conditions permit, wide local excision can be performed to preserve the limb. In addition, a biopsy should be performed before amputation.

So when people ask whether osteosarcoma will affect life expectancy, the answer is that depending on the treatment and various immune factors from the body, life will continue tenaciously.
