PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Osteosarcoma occurs mainly in the metaphysic of the long bones. Most tumors arise in bones involved with the knee joint at the distal end of the femur or proximal distal end of the tibia. As a tumor of the mesenchymal cells, ce lls, osteosarcoma demonstrates production of osteiod tissue. The tumor borders are distinct and merge into adjacent normal bone. The etiology is unknown. Predisposing factors include, Ag e- (10-25), Gender(male),Family history, Teenage growth spurt, Tall for age, Previous treatment with radiation, Benign &non-cancerous bone tumor, Lack of exercise, Smoking and drinking ,DNA mutation, Familial susceptibility, Injury and Metabolic/hormonal disturbance. Once there is mutation of the DNA that activates the oncogene which leads to a deactivation of the suppressor gene which causes a malignant osteoblast that leads to proliferation of abnormal osteoblasts. This causes formation formation of osteoid tissue. The osteoid tissue causes uncontrolled growth of the tumor in the bone and therefore causes overcrowding of the bone. There is then suppression of red bone marrow wh ich leads to decreased production of blood cells. a decrease in RBC leads to anemia while a decrease in WBC leads to a lowered infection resistance. The overcrowding also causes pressure inside the
