Osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma is a type of bone cancer that often affects children, teenagers, and young adults. It usually occurs in the long bones of the body, such as the legs and arms. The main symptoms include persistent local pain, swelling, and limited movement of the joints. Treatment typically involves a combination of surgery and chemotherapy, and the overall survival rate is around 60% to 70%. However, the survival rate is lower for patients with metastatic or recurrent osteosarcoma.
