Can radiotherapy treat osteosarcoma?

The main symptom of osteosarcoma is varying degrees of pain at the joints of bones. If the pain is not treated for a long time, swelling will occur at the site of the disease and a tumor will form around the joint. In order to prevent the osteosarcoma from getting worse, many people will choose radiotherapy for treatment, but everyone is confused. Can radiotherapy treat osteosarcoma?

Radiotherapy for osteosarcoma is a method of treating osteosarcoma. Radiotherapy is a palliative treatment for patients who cannot or refuse surgery to reduce the tumor and relieve symptoms. At the same time, radiotherapy can be combined with surgery and chemotherapy for comprehensive treatment, which can be divided into preoperative and postoperative radiotherapy to achieve the purpose of limb preservation. Postoperative radiotherapy is used for incomplete surgical margins and recurrence.

Maybe many people think that radiotherapy has no effect and can only play the role of auxiliary treatment to a certain extent. However, everyone should pay attention that radiotherapy is effective. It can kill cancer cells to a certain extent and can control the disease in time to prevent the spread of the disease. However, it also has great adverse effects and may cause cancer to easily metastasize or recur.

The safest way to treat osteosarcoma is not to use a single treatment. It must be combined with three major treatments: surgery, radiotherapy, and biological immune therapy to eliminate the tumor. This is because a single treatment is very ineffective for the disease. It is very likely that after the tumor is eliminated, the cancer cells are not completely eliminated, which may cause recurrence in the patient.

In addition to the above three methods of treatment, we can also use conservative treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. Conservative treatment of traditional Chinese medicine combines these methods. Modern Chinese medicine treatment can use many other methods. In addition to taking medicine, it can also be combined with physical therapy and massage to shrink the tumor, reduce cancer cells as quickly as possible, and improve the patient's immunity to kill cell resistance.

We all know clearly about the treatment of osteosarcoma. There are many types of treatments for osteosarcoma. You can choose according to the different conditions of the disease. The main thing is to improve your own immunity to kill tumor cells and recover as soon as possible, prevent the disease from getting worse and endangering your health.
