Dr. Yang Ziqi
Osteosarcoma primarily occurs in adolescents and individuals with a history of bone diseases. It is more common in adolescents mainly because bones grow rapidly during this stage. Osteosarcoma usually causes pain and swelling around the joints, which can severely affect daily life. Treatment options include chemotherapy and surgery.
