Detection and Diagnosis

Catching cancer early often allows for more treatment options.  Some cancers may cause signs and symptoms early in the course of the disease, but that's not always the case.

Stages of Osteosarcoma

After a cancer diagnosis, staging provides important information about the extent of cancer in the body and anticipated response to treatment.

Outlook (Prognosis)
