What are the early symptoms of osteosarcoma? These three points need attention

When osteosarcoma first occurs, it needs to be treated in time, otherwise it will easily lead to the spread of osteosarcoma, causing lung infection and systemic viral infection. In addition, during treatment, a variety of treatment methods can be used to alleviate the symptoms of osteosarcoma. When the early symptoms of osteosarcoma appear, patients need to seek medical attention in time. So what are the early symptoms of osteosarcoma?

1. Early symptoms of osteosarcoma
1. Lump <br/>When the disease occurs, the tumor will develop, and swelling and lumps will appear. Pain will be felt in the limbs, and tenderness will be felt under the effect of pressure. In addition, the lump will also be seen to be larger in appearance. There will be different pains on the surface of the lump and soft tissue. However, due to the different physical conditions of each person, the lump will become larger and the joint movement will be hindered.
2. Pain <br/>The pain of osteosarcoma is very obvious. Because the tumor continues to grow in the bone, it will destroy the bone. In the early stage, the pain will continue to occur intermittently, and after a few weeks, the pain is more likely to intensify.
3. Limping <br/>Due to the compression of the tumor, pain-avoiding limp will occur when walking. When walking for a while, it is easy to feel joint obstruction and joint pain, and you need to stop and rest before you can continue walking.

How to treat osteosarcoma
1. Chemotherapy <br/>Osteosarcoma can be treated well through chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is a method of killing the tumor site by combining multiple doses of drugs. Chemotherapy can kill tumor cells, shrink the tumor, and cause tumor edema and active tumor death. It can also relieve the patient's pain and improve joint movement.
2. Limb-sparing treatment <br/>When conducting treatment, you need to choose a good method. Not all patients with osteosarcoma need amputation. Limb-sparing treatment can prevent tumor metastasis and smoothly remove the tumor. However, limb-sparing treatment is prone to problems, which can easily lead to the continuous development of tumor cells and cause lung virus infection.

3. Amputation treatment <br/>Amputation treatment is to save life and prolong life by removing the patient's limbs. In addition, this treatment method can extend the patient's life. This is the best treatment method for patients whose symptoms have been delayed.
