Osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma is a type of cancer that begins in the bones of the body. It is the most common type of cancer in children, adolescents, and young adults, but can also be seen in adults. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, and tenderness around a bone. Treatment usually involves chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery to remove the tumor. Osteosarcoma is a serious and life-threatening condition, and can lead to a disability if not treated promptly. Early detection and aggressive treatment are key to reducing the risk of disability and death.
