Yes, from treatment: Osteosarcoma is an aggressive bone tumor treated with chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. The intense treatment can cause later problems, including bone fractures and osteoporosis, neuropathy, loss of fertility, chronic pain, neuropathy, and changes in cognitive abilities. Secondary cancers can develop in the areas where radiation was received.
