How to treat mild osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma has always been a pain for patients. The sooner this orthopedic tumor is treated, the better, because early treatment not only has a high success rate of cure, but also can reduce the pain of the patient. Generally, once it is found to be mild, it needs to be treated seriously. If it is left untreated for a long time, it will affect the body's function. So let us introduce to you how to treat mild osteosarcoma?

Experts say that when mild osteosarcoma reaches a certain extent, it will affect the body's functions. At this time, you should pay attention to choosing a treatment method for treatment. Below, let's take a look at the treatment methods for mild osteosarcoma:

1. Drug therapy

Drug therapy is one of the important methods for treating osteosarcoma. Experts point out that when the tumor is relatively small and stops growing, no drug treatment is generally needed; if the tumor causes paraplegia, additional drugs are needed according to spinal cord and nerve damage. How should osteochondroma be treated? In addition, drug therapy can also be used as a preventive measure for infection before and after surgical treatment. Drug therapy needs to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor and must not be abused.

2. Surgical treatment

Surgery is an important treatment for osteosarcoma. Like drug therapy, if the tumor is small and stops growing, it is generally not treated. If the tumor is large and compresses the surrounding tissues to produce symptoms, and if the tumor continues to grow after growth stops, surgical resection should be performed in a timely manner. During resection, the fibrous capsule, cartilage cap, tumor body and normal bone tissue at the base of the osteochondroma should be removed together.

For surgical treatment, post-operative and pre-operative care are also very important. In the early stage of treatment, patients need to maintain a good attitude and not be too nervous, which will help the surgical results. Postoperative patients also need to pay special attention to nutritional supplements, which will help the body recover as soon as possible.
