Overview
The common risk factors in the development of osteosarcoma are radiation to bones, alkylating antineoplastic agents, paget disease, Multiple hereditary osteochondromas, Fibrous dysplasia, Bloom syndrome,Rothmund-Thomson syndrome, and Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
Risk Factors
- Age and height: Data suggest that the risk of osteosarcoma is highest during the teenage "growth spurt." Children with osteosarcoma are usually tall for their age.
- Radiation to bones: People who were treated with radiation for another cancer have a higher risk of later developing post-radiation (after radiation) osteosarcoma.
- Drugs: Past treatment with anticancer drugs called alkylating antineoplastic agents.
- Certain bone diseases:
- Paget disease of bone
- Multiple hereditary osteochondromas
- Fibrous dysplasia
- Enchondromtosis.
- Inherited cancer syndromes: Genetic diseases that Predispose to osteosarcoma are:
