How serious is the harm of osteosarcoma

I believe everyone is familiar with osteosarcoma. Once you have osteosarcoma, you will often feel pain in the affected area. If you do not give active treatment when you first notice the pain, the prognosis is very poor due to the high malignancy of osteosarcoma. Lung metastasis may occur within a few months after the onset of the disease. Therefore, it is very important to take timely prevention measures in daily life. Let's take a look at how harmful osteosarcoma is.

Osteosarcoma is a highly malignant primary bone tumor, which is more common in adolescents aged 10 to 25. As the incidence of osteosarcoma is mainly in adolescents, the pain caused by osteosarcoma is often misdiagnosed as growing pains or thought to be common arthritis, sprains, etc., due to the rapid bone growth and frequent exercise of these people. As a result, many osteosarcoma patients miss the best treatment opportunity due to neglect or misdiagnosis, thus endangering the patients' lives.

Due to the rapid progression of osteosarcoma, clinically, 60% of patients have already developed to the middle or late stage when they are admitted. Not only do patients have to endure great pain, but the treatment is more difficult and the cure rate is relatively low. Therefore, we must be alert to the early symptoms of osteosarcoma in daily life, especially sudden pain at night, so as to be careful of osteosarcoma and strive for early detection and early treatment to reduce the harm of osteosarcoma to life and health.

Pain is an important factor in osteosarcoma. In the early stage, it is intermittent, especially obvious at night, which seriously affects the patient's rest. As the disease progresses, the pain becomes continuous and the pain intensifies, causing the patient to feel miserable and having a serious impact on the patient's physical and mental health. Therefore, sudden pain requires caution for osteosarcoma.

In daily life, if people feel pain in the upper and lower knee joints, upper thighs, lower calves and upper arms without any intense exercise, and feel the temperature is high when touched, they must be alert and go to a regular hospital to take X-rays in time to confirm whether it is osteosarcoma to avoid delaying treatment due to misdiagnosis. When osteosarcoma is diagnosed, it must be actively treated to reduce its threat to life and health.

At present, there are many ways to treat osteosarcoma. Common treatments include surgery, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is the most widely used treatment method. This treatment method can be used for osteosarcoma patients at all stages. By killing cancer cells in the body and enhancing the body's immunity and resistance, it can prolong the patient's life to the greatest extent, improve the patient's quality of life, and promote the patient's early recovery.
