Prevention
There is no known way to prevent osteosarcoma, though certain factors, such as past radiation therapy or certain genetic conditions increase the risk. Still, having a risk factor doesn't necessarily mean that you'll get osteosarcoma. But any signs or symptoms should be checked out as soon as possible.
