How long can osteosarcoma live? Can osteosarcoma be cured?

There are individual differences in life expectancy of osteosarcoma patients. Osteosarcoma is a kind of malignant tumor, and the prognosis of patients is obviously different due to different pathological types, different specific lesions and different clinical stages. If the tumor is located at the distal end, the patient will survive for a relatively long time, which may be several years or even longer if he is diagnosed early and treated surgically in time. If the tumor is located near the trunk, or it has reached the advanced stage when it is diagnosed, the survival time of the patient will be significantly shortened.

Osteosarcoma accounts for 1 or the second place of primary malignant bone tumor, and its malignancy is very high, which is very harmful to the quality of life and even life of patients, and should be paid great attention to. The earliest symptom of this disease is persistent pain. At this point, the lesion may have lasted for some time. Many patients always understand the pain around the joint as a joint sprain until they have persistent pain or touch a lump. Therefore, the focus of population prevention should be the popularization of relevant knowledge, so that people can increase their knowledge and understanding of osteosarcoma and improve their vigilance. The improvement of sanitary conditions and medical quality is the guarantee of early detection, and the popularization of crowd knowledge is the basis of early detection. Therefore, it should be emphasized that when teenagers find pain around their knees without obvious trauma, they should go to a hospital with a certain level at an early stage to facilitate early detection and treatment, improve the survival rate and benefit the people.
