Screening
Screening tests can be useful in detecting certain types of cancer at an early stage. However, no screening tests can find osteosarcoma early. The best way to make sure that osteosarcoma is treated at the earliest possible stage, when it is most curable, is to ask your doctor as soon as potential signs or symptoms of the disease appear. On average, osteosarcoma symptoms start about 3 months before the cancer is diagnosed.
Prevention
Changes in certain lifestyle factors, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising, and not smoking, can prevent many cancers in adults. But no lifestyle changes are known to prevent osteosarcoma in either children or adults.
