Cancer with its high mortality rate is really hard to treat even in this era. Extensive research work is still required to overcome the threat caused by the disease. Currently, the treatment modality is based on the combination therapy, and diagnostics is dependent upon biopsy results. Once the stage of cancer is clear, the treatment is prescribed. To bring a successful treatment approach of patients with osteosarcoma, it requires multidisciplinary team approach including pediatric, medical and surgical oncologist, surgeons, pathologists, pain management, orthopedic oncologist, endocrinologist, and radiologists. Therefore, cancer treatment is to be performed in specialized hospitals able to provide access to all approaches with multidisciplinary team care.
