What are the effective methods to prevent bone cancer

What are the effective methods for preventing bone cancer? Bone tumors are a common chronic disease in life. We should pay more attention to active prevention of bone tumors, help people avoid the occurrence of bone tumors, and avoid some health hazards. Let's learn about the prevention measures for bone tumors.

Ionizing radiation (including radiotherapy) can cause bone tumors, mainly internal irradiation, especially bone-loving radionuclides (such as radium) are the main factors that induce bone tumors. Workers who come into contact with radium include luminous paint workers, chemical workers, and patients who receive oral or intravenous radium drug treatment. The main measures to prevent ionizing radiation pollution are that the site of nuclear enterprises should be selected in a suitable area and tested, the factory process and equipment should be safe, wastewater and waste gas should be purified, and medical and scientific research workers and workers in related industries should strengthen their awareness of prevention and take protective measures.

Natural and artificial ultraviolet rays can cause skin cancer. You should reduce excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays or wear appropriate clothing, protective glasses, and sunscreen when doing outdoor activities.

Radon radiation in indoor environmental pollution (building decoration materials, etc.) is also an important carcinogenic factor. When choosing building materials, you should pay attention to keeping the room ventilated as much as possible and install an exhaust fan if conditions permit.

Electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones, computers, televisions, and microwave appliances. Try to use wired phones as much as possible, keep an arm's length away from the screen when using a computer, and don't watch TV for too long.

Injury and bone tumors Injury (including fractures, bleeding, scars, burns, etc.) may be related to bone tumors. For example, although the cause of giant cell tumor of bone is unknown, some cases have a history of trauma before the onset of the disease. In addition, epidermoid cysts, xanthomas (also known as giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath or benign synovial tumors), glomus tumors, mucoceles, synovial tumors, purulent granulomas, malignant melanomas, etc. in the soft tissue tumors of the hands and feet are all suspected to be related to local trauma. It can be seen that preventing injuries is also part of preventing bone tumors.

Tips: Bone tumors are divided into primary and secondary types. Primary tumors are those that grow from the bone tissue itself, and secondary tumors are those that metastasize from malignant tumors of other organs or tissues to the bone. Half of primary bone tumors are benign tumors, while the vast majority of secondary bone tumors are malignant tumors. The age of onset of primary bone tumors is generally low, and they often occur in adolescents with vigorous bone growth. The peak age for males is 15-24 years old, and for females is 5-14 years old. The incidence rate for males is higher than that for females, which may be related to the early and late development of bone and endocrine development in different genders. Secondary bone tumors often occur in the elderly.

This is all I have to say about the prevention measures for bone tumors. Only when we understand the prevention measures for bone tumors can we take active preventive measures in our future lives, strive to effectively stay away from bone tumors, avoid the occurrence of such diseases, and avoid too many health hazards.
