The main cause of osteosarcoma

What is the main cause of osteosarcoma? Osteosarcoma, also known as osteogenic sarcoma, is a malignant bone tumor that develops from the mesenchymal cell line. Because the tumor directly or indirectly forms tumor bone-like tissue and bone tissue during the cartilage stage, the tumor grows rapidly. After understanding osteosarcoma, let's take a look at the main causes of osteosarcoma.

The cause of osteosarcoma is related to the following factors.

1. Traumatic stimulation. If the patient is subjected to external traumatic injury and is not treated in time, it is easy to cause lesions in the long run.

2. Radioactive isotope radium. During the process of bone growth, the tumor also develops rapidly outward, invading the Hastelloy system in the cortical bone and causing vascular nutritional disorders, and the cortical bone is then destroyed.

3. 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 during 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.

4. Typical osteosarcomas originate from the bone. Another completely different type of osteosarcoma 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.

5. It is also related to heredity, exposure to radioactive substances, viral infection, etc. It can also be secondary to osteitis deformans and fibrous dysplasia of bone. Some cases are caused by the malignant transformation of other benign tumors.

The above are the main causes of osteosarcoma that we want to share with you. This requires us to take more precautions in our daily work and life, so as to reduce the occurrence of osteosarcoma.
