Osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma is a type of bone cancer that most often affects teenagers and young adults. It begins in the cells that form bones, typically in the arms, legs, or around the knees. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, or a noticeable lump in the affected area. While the exact cause is unknown, certain genetic conditions may increase risk. Treatment usually involves a combination of surgery to remove the tumor, chemotherapy to kill cancer cells, and sometimes radiation therapy. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for better outcomes.
