Osteossarcoma

🔴Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary bone cancer, meaning it is the most common type of malignant bone tumor that originates in the bone, unlike metastases that originate elsewhere and spread to the bone. 👉This is a rare tumor, with about half of cases occurring in patients under 20 years of age, and bone cancer is most common in children and adolescents. 👨‍⚕️Most osteosarcomas have no apparent cause or predisposing factors, but some are associated with genetic syndromes and others with radiation or previous Paget's disease. 🤕The most common symptom of osteosarcoma is pain, but it can present with local swelling and fractures. 👨‍💻The diagnosis may be suspected by simple X-rays and tests such as CT scans and MRIs. The diagnosis is confirmed with a biopsy. 🏥Osteosarcoma is classically treated with chemotherapy and surgery. This is the best treatment regimen for treating the disease locally and preventing or treating potential metastases. 🛠Limb-sparing surgery is possible in approximately 90% of cases, and the resected bone can be reconstructed using prosthetics, bone transplants, or even the patient's own fibula. 🔴See more information on the website: www.danielrebolledo.com.br 🚨If you are interested in this and other topics related to Orthopedic Oncology and Hip Surgery - SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL! 👨‍⚕️Dr. Daniel César Seguel Rebolledo CRM/SP: 104.291 Orthopedics and Traumatology Orthopedic Oncology and Hip Surgery 📱Scheduling appointments: WhatsApp: (11) 93387-0542 🏥São Paulo Practice/ DWO Associated Doctors Phone: (11) 3151-2825/3151-2634 WhatsApp: (11) 96412-7455 Rua Haddock Lobo, 131, office 1509 Cerqueira César 🏥Santo André Practice/ Prata Institute of Orthopedics and Traumatology Rua das Paineiras, 161 Jardim neighborhood Phone: (11) 2677-5711 WhatsApp: (11)97433-8167 Connect with me on social media   / drdanielrebolledo   https://www.intagram.com/drdanielrebo...
