Patient's question:
My child is so young, how could they get this disease? What will happen to the child in the future? I want to know what causes the recurrence of pediatric osteosarcoma? Why did the child get this disease for no reason? How should the treatment be done to achieve the best results?Doctor's answer:
Children experiencing recurrent osteosarcoma may have a certain relationship with hereditary factors across generations. Most cases are related to radiation exposure, but some causes are not particularly clear, meaning the etiology is not very obvious. Osteosarcoma is one of the more common types of malignant tumors. The pain caused by this tumor is relatively severe, and local swelling may reappear. When this condition occurs, it is necessary to use MRI or CT scans for diagnosis. Early treatment typically involves surgery followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The mortality rate for this condition is relatively high.
