Osteosarcoma Treatment by Stage

Because there is no staging system for osteosarcoma, this eMedTV Web page does not break down osteosarcoma treatment by stage. Instead, this article explains how the disease is classified and explores the corresponding treatment options.

Prognosis for Osteosarcoma

Factors that affect the prognosis for osteosarcoma patients include the size and location of the cancer. This eMedTV resource discusses other factors that may affect an osteosarcoma prognosis (such as the patient's age and general health).

Risk Factors for Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma

Risk factors for malignant fibrous histiocytoma include having a history of sickle cell disease. This eMedTV page identifies other factors that may increase a person's risk of developing malignant fibrous histiocytoma.

Types of Bone Cancer

As this eMedTV segment explains, bone cancer can be either benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). This article talks about the different forms of the disease, including primary and secondary types of bone cancer.
