Clinical Impact of the Phytoconstituents: An Emerging Frontier in the Treatment of Osteosarcoma

Abstract: All the vertebrates including the human beings rely on bones; a sturdy, rigid, structural framework which supports and protects the internal body organs from all kinds of mechanical and physical shocks. Osteosarcoma is one such malignant form of bone tumor recorded to have 3.4 cases per million people annually (1). The observation over several years of research shows its prevalence majorly in the adolescents and children owing to the reason that the growth and hormonal changes are rapid during puberty and in geriatric patients having an underlining condition like Paget disease and secondary lesions (2).
