Abstract
The surgical treatment of osteosarcoma has historically been amputation/disarticulation. While there has been improvement in survival from inclusion of chemotherapy on the one hand, it has been paralleled by a shift of surgical treatment from amputation toward limb salvage surgery. Limb salvage should be considered in a patient only if the surgeon is reasonably confident that surgical excision of the tumor with wide margins is feasible, and that the expected function of the limb after limb salvage surgery will be better than ablative surgery in the form of amputation/disarticulation. Aim of this study is study the various treatment options in patients of osteosarcoma. Keywords: OS- osteosarcoma, CT-chemotherapy, RT-radiotherapy
