Which department should I go to for osteosarcoma treatment in the hospital

Many patients do not know much about osteosarcoma, a tumor disease, so they do not know which department of the hospital to go to for examination and treatment when the disease occurs. In fact, if osteosarcoma is not treated for a long time, it will be very harmful to the human body. Once you find that you often have pain, swelling and other phenomena, you should go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis as soon as possible. Today we will introduce to you which department you should go to for osteosarcoma treatment in the hospital?

Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone tumor. The age of patients is usually between 10 and 20 years old, and there are more males than females, with a ratio of about 2:1. Osteosarcoma often occurs in tubular bones, distal femurs, and tibias. All patients usually have lesions between 50% and 70%. Osteosarcoma in other lesions is relatively rare. For example, osteosarcoma occurring in the fibula, ilium, mandible, maxilla, and spine is rare. To examine and treat osteosarcoma, a tumor disease, patients should go to a regular tertiary hospital to register for oncology or orthopedics for examination and treatment. After the patient is diagnosed with osteosarcoma through scientific examination, he needs to receive treatment as soon as possible according to his personal condition.

According to current clinical trials, osteosarcoma can be divided into benign, low-grade malignant and high-grade malignant. Generally, for patients with benign osteosarcoma and not very serious conditions, complete surgical removal of the osteosarcoma, combined with some auxiliary treatments, can achieve effective treatment goals. If it is unfortunate that the benign turns into a malignant tumor, limb-preserving treatments should be adopted when it is not life-threatening, such as chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, radiotherapy, etc.
