What is ostiocarcinoma?

Answer 1

Osteosarcoma is a type of bone cancer that primarily develops in the long bones, such as the arms and legs, but can also occur in other bones. It typically affects adolescents and young adults, often during periods of rapid growth. The exact cause is unknown, but genetic factors and certain pre-existing conditions can increase the risk. Treatment usually involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and sometimes radiation therapy.
