Osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma is a type of cancer that develops in the bones and is the most common primary bone cancer in children and young adults. It is typically seen around the knee and can spread to other parts of the body, such as the lungs. If left untreated, it can be life-threatening. Early diagnosis of osteosarcoma is essential for improving the success of treatment. Treatment options typically involve a combination of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. In some cases, new treatments such as proton therapy are being explored to improve patient outcomes.
