Osteosarcoma
Osteosarcoma is a form of bone cancer that most often affects children and young adults. This eMedTV segment offers an overview of this condition, including information about its symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and more.
Osteosarcoma Diagnosis
To make an osteosarcoma diagnosis, the doctor will usually perform a physical exam and order certain tests. This eMedTV Web page covers the steps involved in diagnosing osteosarcoma, which may involve blood tests, bone scans, and other tests.
Osteosarcoma Stages
When it comes to osteosarcoma, stages are not used to express the extent of the cancer. As this eMedTV article explains, in the place of using osteosarcoma staging, most cases of the cancer are classified as being localized, metastatic, or recurrent.
Osteosarcoma Symptoms
Pain, broken bones, fatigue, fever, and weight loss are common osteosarcoma symptoms. This eMedTV article describes several other signs and symptoms of osteosarcoma, such as swelling, tenderness, or stiffness in the affected area.
Osteosarcoma Treatment
For people with osteosarcoma, treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. This eMedTV segment reviews these different options in detail and discusses second opinions, side effects, and follow-up care.
