Question

I recently heard that my neighbor’s son has been experiencing joint pain and muscle weakness. It was only yesterday that he went to the hospital and found out that he has pediatric metastatic osteosarcoma. We are all very worried about the child, and we are eager to understand how to treat pediatric metastatic osteosarcoma.

Answer

  1. Radiation therapy.
  2. Hormonal therapy, such as orchiectomy and the use of estrogen, is a conventional treatment for prostate cancer with only 30% being ineffective. Orchiectomy has no adverse reactions and can increase the 3-5 year survival rate by three times. Hormonal therapy for breast cancer can result in a significant improvement for 20% to 40% of patients.
