Will osteosarcoma shorten life expectancy?

Everyone has birth, aging, life and death. Everyone desires and cherishes good health. However, not everything can go as you wish. Various health diseases will suddenly befall you and affect a person's life span. Today, let's talk about whether osteosarcoma will shorten your life span.

First of all, osteosarcoma is a primary bone tumor with a high degree of malignancy. Its characteristic is that tumor cells directly form bone-like tissue, so it is also called osteosarcoma. However, osteosarcoma cannot be ruled out if the bone formation process of the tumor is not obvious.

Next, let’s talk about the treatment of osteosarcoma and its impact on life expectancy:

1. Osteosarcoma is still a malignant tumor with a high mortality rate among children and adolescents, but early detection and timely treatment have greatly improved the survival rate of the disease.

2. After osteosarcoma is diagnosed by pathology, early chemotherapy or radiotherapy begins. Resection 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 a good treatment prospect. Consolidation chemotherapy or radiotherapy after tumor tissue resection is very important for controlling tumor metastasis and improving survival rate.

3. Radical surgery should be performed to treat osteosarcoma. If conditions permit, wide local excision can be performed to preserve the limb. In addition, a biopsy should be performed before amputation.

Osteosarcoma will more or less affect a person's life span, but we can also prolong life through treatment, or even cure it. I hope my article will be helpful to you!
