Chemotherapy is an important treatment for osteosarcoma, especially advanced osteosarcoma, and has a more direct inhibitory effect on cancer. Commonly used osteosarcoma chemotherapy drugs in clinical practice include mitomycin, 5-fluorouracil, cisplatin, etc. These drugs have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to evaluate which drug is the best drug for treating osteosarcoma. When choosing drugs, patients should consult a doctor based on their own body condition and the development of the disease. In addition, no matter what kind of chemotherapy drug, it will cause damage to the human body, because chemotherapy drugs have no selectivity after entering the human body. While the drugs attack cancer cells, normal immune cells will also be damaged, resulting in a decrease in the body's resistance. It will also cause digestive disorders, liver toxicity, cardiotoxicity and other systemic toxic and side effects, so that most patients can hardly tolerate several courses of chemotherapy. Therefore, it should be combined with Chinese medicine treatment to play a role in enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity.

It can effectively improve the patient's own immune function. When used in combination with chemotherapy, it can also reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs to the patient's body, improve the patient's quality of life, and prolong the patient's life.

To sum up, the most effective medicine for treating osteosarcoma is traditional Chinese medicine that is formulated according to the patient's condition. Patients must maintain a good mental state and actively cooperate with the treatment, so as to better promote physical recovery.
