What are the sequelae of osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma is a common benign tumor, and it often occurs in teenagers or children. The early symptoms are not obvious. If it is not treated in time, as the disease worsens, the body will swell locally, and even deform and feel sore. At present, there are many methods for the treatment of osteosarcoma, but patients and their families are still worried about what sequelae will osteosarcoma have?

1. Digestive tract mounds should be common. Mild cases can be relieved by themselves with the excretion of chemotherapy drug metabolites. Severe cases should be treated with sedation, anti-vomiting, acupuncture, etc. Patients with oral mucositis, oral ulcers and hemorrhoids should pay attention to oral care. Patients with membranous pain and membranous diarrhea should observe the nature, range and excrement of abdominal pain and keep records. Contact the doctor in time if there is any abnormality. During chemotherapy, pay attention to the patient's diet and eat light and nutritious food.

2. Skin papules should often cause skin reactions of varying degrees, which usually appear 2 to 3 days after medication, manifested as skin itching, local or systemic rashes, and should be treated symptomatically in a timely manner.

3. The application of body temperature chemotherapy drugs causes the tumor tissue to decompose rapidly and the toxins to be absorbed, resulting in low fever or high fever, with the body temperature mostly between 37.5℃ and 38℃. After symptomatic treatment, the body temperature returns to normal in about two weeks. This indicates that the hematopoietic system is suppressed, and chemotherapy should be suspended and medication should be taken as prescribed by the doctor.

4. After arterial regional chemotherapy, attention should be paid to the blood circulation, sensation and swelling of the affected limb. If a blood circulation crisis is found, the doctor should be notified immediately, and it should be distinguished whether the swelling of the limb is caused by the rapid enlargement of the tumor or the abnormal circulation of the limb veins. The latter can be relieved by patting the affected tendon, while the former cannot be relieved and the symptoms are worsening pain at night.

Therefore, there will be some sequelae after osteosarcoma treatment, which should not be underestimated. I hope my answer is helpful to you and I wish you a speedy recovery.
