Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Orthopedic Oncology

Background:

  • Osteosarcoma is the most frequent bone malignancy in children and adolescents, peaking between ages 15-19.
  • While radiation and genetic factors are linked, the etiology of osteosarcoma remains largely unknown.
  • This cancer typically arises in long bones, causing destruction and a characteristic "sunburst" radiographic sign.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of osteosarcoma.
  • To highlight diagnostic and prognostic indicators.
  • To outline current treatment strategies and supportive care.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis relies on histopathological examination for confirmation and classification.
  • Treatment involves surgical intervention (amputation or limb-sparing surgery).

  • Adjuvant chemotherapy is a critical component, often used pre- or post-operatively.

    • Main Results:

    • Histopathological classification aids in predicting tumor aggressiveness and prognosis.
    • Combined surgical and chemotherapeutic approaches significantly improve survival.
    • Multidisciplinary care, including prosthetics and psychological support, is essential.

    Conclusions:

    • Osteosarcoma necessitates a multimodal treatment approach.
    • Accurate histopathological diagnosis is key for guiding treatment and predicting outcomes.
    • Comprehensive patient care, encompassing physical and psychological support, is vital for recovery.
