What are the essential drugs for treating osteosarcoma

Chemotherapy is a common treatment for osteosarcoma. Drug therapy is needed during the treatment of chemotherapy. Currently, drug therapy is also one of the important treatments for osteosarcoma. However, there are many types of drugs for treating osteosarcoma clinically, and patients do not know how to choose. So, what are the essential drugs for treating osteosarcoma?

Chemotherapy is an important treatment for osteosarcoma, especially advanced osteosarcoma, and has a more direct inhibitory effect on cancer. Commonly used osteosarcoma chemotherapy drugs in clinical practice include mitomycin, 5-fluorouracil, cisplatin, etc. These drugs have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to evaluate which drug is the best drug for treating osteosarcoma. When choosing drugs, patients should consult a doctor based on their own body condition and the development of the disease. In addition, no matter what kind of chemotherapy drug, it will cause damage to the human body, because chemotherapy drugs have no selectivity after entering the human body. While the drugs attack cancer cells, normal immune cells will also be damaged, resulting in a decrease in the body's resistance. It will also cause digestive disorders, liver toxicity, cardiotoxicity and other systemic toxic and side effects, so that most patients can hardly tolerate several courses of chemotherapy. Therefore, it should be combined with Chinese medicine treatment to play a role in enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity.

The most important advantage of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of osteosarcoma is that it has a certain inhibitory effect on tumors in the patient's body, and it has no toxic side effects. It can effectively improve the patient's own immune function. When used in combination with chemotherapy, it can also reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs to the patient's body, improve the patient's quality of life, and prolong the patient's life.

Once osteosarcoma occurs, in addition to drug treatment, comprehensive treatment with surgery as the main treatment should be adopted. Comprehensive treatment mainly includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc. As long as osteosarcoma patients go to the hospital for diagnosis as soon as possible, carefully analyze the type and degree before surgery, and carry out standardized and reasonable treatment, it can play a role in improvement.
