How to judge the recurrence of osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma is highly malignant and can metastasize to the lungs in a short period of time. The survival rate after resection of the affected limb is between 5% and 20%. The incidence rate is high at the lower end of the femur and the upper end of the tibia, accounting for about three-quarters, and can also occur at the humerus, fibula, and ilium. Today we will look at how to determine the recurrence of osteosarcoma?

The symptoms of osteosarcoma recurrence are very similar to the symptoms during the onset of osteosarcoma. The patient will experience obvious pain in the affected area, and sometimes there will be persistent pain, especially after people exercise, the pain will worsen, and the pain will be more severe in rainy weather or at night.

If the disease relapses after the patient develops it, the patient's physical fitness will be affected to a certain extent. During the relapse period, the patient will also have some symptoms of high fever and severe weight loss. Some patients will also feel body aches and loss of appetite.

Generally speaking, osteosarcoma is a disease that will not be misdiagnosed or missed. The most common examination method is CT scan, and radioactive scans can also be done. These examination methods can well determine whether osteosarcoma has occurred. Secondly, MRI examinations can be done, and blood routine tests can be checked, because patients will experience symptoms of anemia during the onset of the disease.

Patients with osteosarcoma must avoid recurrence. Osteosarcoma can be treated surgically. After treatment, you must pay attention to every detail in your life. It is best to quit smoking and drinking, because there are many toxic substances in tobacco and alcohol, which can cause great harm to the human body. Patients must pay attention during the recovery period, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and participate in physical exercise appropriately.
