Osteosarcoma is not necessarily curable, and the prognosis depends on the severity of the disease. Osteosarcoma is a highly malignant bone tumor that can cause muscle atrophy upon onset and may metastasize to the lungs, damaging the respiratory system. To effectively treat osteosarcoma, early medical intervention at a hospital is essential once diagnosis is confirmed. Patients should maintain a relaxed mindset during treatment.
