Osteosarcoma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Osteosarcoma is a type of malignant tumor that originates in bone tissue and occurs most often in children, adolescents, and young adults.
Common symptoms: pain in a bone that persists or increases over time, swelling or a lump in the affected area, and sometimes limited movement.
When should you see a doctor? When bone pain that is not related to a clear injury persists or is accompanied by swelling.
Which specialist treats it? Its evaluation involves the oncologist, the orthopedic surgeon and, in minors, the pediatric oncologist and the pediatrician, who work in a coordinated way. Detecting these symptoms early and having them evaluated by a qualified professional is key to determining the next steps.
