How should bone cancer be treated

Bone cancer refers to the skeletal system, which, like other organs, can be affected by tumors from any tissue component or metastatic lesions from other organs. Because the early symptoms of bone cancer are not very obvious, many people are already in the middle or late stages of the disease when they discover bone cancer. So how should bone cancer be treated? Let me introduce it to you below.

Common treatments for bone cancer include:

1. Surgical resection

Currently, the commonly used surgical methods for the treatment of bone cancer include curettage, resection, amputation, limb resection and distal replantation of the bone tumor segment, amputation, and joint dissection.

However, due to the progress of chemotherapy methods, some scholars have begun to perform tumor segment resection or total femoral resection and replace it with an artificial prosthesis in recent years, and adopt measures such as "local extensive resection plus functional reconstruction" to preserve limbs, supplemented by chemotherapy, etc.

2. Chemotherapy

Bone cancers suitable for chemotherapy include undifferentiated reticular cell sarcoma, primary reticular cell sarcoma of bone, multiple myeloma and some bone metastases.

3. Radiotherapy

Intraoperative radiotherapy is a one-time high-dose irradiation, and its biological effect is 2 to 2.5 times that of conventional fractionated irradiation, which can effectively block the repair of tumor cells.

4. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment

Chinese herbal medicine can play a very important role in treating bone cancer because it can be added or subtracted, and the formula can be tailored to the individual.

This is actually the biggest feature of Chinese medicine, so we advocate prescribing medicine for two to three weeks, because the climate needs to be adjusted and the symptoms need to be improved, and it should be tailored to the individual and the time.

Traditional Chinese medicine has more advantages in whole-body adjustment, and early treatment of bone cancer may require a two-fist attack.

It should be said that TCM has obvious advantages in controlling symptoms, improving symptoms, and improving long-term trends. During chemotherapy, combined with Chinese medicine, bone density can be significantly increased, bone lesions can be significantly controlled, and pain can be significantly improved, which is very effective in treating bone cancer.

Therefore, in the process of treating bone cancer, chemotherapy should be used if necessary, radiotherapy should be used if necessary, and traditional Chinese medicine should be used if necessary.

Bone cancer often occurs after certain malignant tumors. It is a disease with great harm. If bone cancer can be treated in the early stages, good therapeutic effects can be achieved.

However, if treatment is started too late, it will become more difficult to treat.

The above is a detailed answer to how bone cancer should be treated. I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
