What are the measures to treat osteosarcoma?

Osteosarcoma is very harmful, so patients and their families need to have confidence in curing the disease. This disease can be cured if the treatment method chosen is appropriate, so don't worry too much about the treatment of osteosarcoma. So what are the measures to treat osteosarcoma? The following introduces the main treatment methods of osteosarcoma.

Osteosarcoma is still a malignant tumor with a high mortality rate in children and adolescents, but early detection and timely treatment have greatly improved the survival rate of the disease. After osteosarcoma is pathologically confirmed, early chemotherapy or radiotherapy begins, and the removal 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 good treatment prospects. Consolidation chemotherapy or radiotherapy after tumor tissue resection is very important for controlling tumor metastasis and improving survival rate. It is necessary for patients to cooperate with doctors to find a treatment plan that suits them.

Radical surgery should be performed to treat osteosarcoma. If conditions permit, local extensive resection can be performed to preserve the limb. In addition, a biopsy should be performed before amputation. Immunotherapy is intravenous infusion of lymphocytes or interferon and transfer factor, but the efficacy is not yet certain.

It is recommended that patients choose a good hospital for treatment. Compared with general hospitals, general hospitals and specialized hospitals have simpler department settings and more thorough research on certain diseases, such as cancer hospitals and obstetrics and gynecology hospitals. Of course, if the disease is not limited to a certain system, it is better to go to a general hospital, which can organize multi-department consultations. In addition, the examination methods and equipment are more comprehensive.
