What harm does bone cancer do to the body? Bone tumor, as the name suggests, is a disease in which a tumor grows in the bone. When the word tumor is mentioned, many friends will think of cancer. In fact, there are benign and malignant tumors, and malignant tumors are cancer. Bone tumors are also benign and malignant. Specifically, what harm will benign bone tumors and malignant bone tumors bring to patients?

The harm of benign bone tumors to patients

Osteoma is the most benign bone tumor and rarely changes into malignancy. Most patients are teenagers and young adults. The skull and upper and lower jaws are the most common sites of osteoma. It grows slowly and has few symptoms. When it protrudes into the cranial cavity, eye sockets, nasal cavity and nasal cavity, it can cause compression symptoms.

Except for those who have caused severe compression symptoms or excessive deformity and need surgical resection, there is no need to consider treatment; but observation should be continued, because osteomas can occasionally become malignant. During treatment, the tumor should be surgically removed, including a small amount of normal bone around the tumor. Otherwise, the tumor may recur or even become malignant.

When it occurs in the inner plate of the skull and spreads into the brain, it can cause increased intracranial pressure, headaches, dizziness, or epilepsy.

Osteomas grow slowly and may go undetected if they are asymptomatic, so they generally do not require treatment. However, if they grow rapidly and have caused hair deformity or compression symptoms, or if they continue to grow after adulthood, they can be surgically removed.

The harm of advanced malignant bone tumors to patients

1. Endangerment to life: Life is the most precious thing for human beings, but advanced bone tumors will continue to erode the patient's body, causing the patient's body to gradually deteriorate and eventually lead to death.

2. Impact on life: Many other advanced cancer patients can still lead a relatively normal life at this stage, but patients with advanced bone tumors can almost only stay in bed because of the severe pain and huge tumors that affect the patients' ability to move, reduce their appetite, and their physical fitness declines rapidly.

3. Erosion of the soul: Bone tumor is a disease that can easily wear away a person's heart, especially in the late stage. Long-term pain and various uncomfortable complications will accompany the patient, destroying the patient's body and mind. Many patients go crazy or commit suicide because of this.

The above article introduces the hazards of bone tumors in detail. Patients and friends are advised not to worry too much. No matter how harmful the disease is, as long as we have the confidence and determination to overcome the disease, we can always achieve the best treatment effect. Therefore, friends should not be frightened by the harm of the disease, but should learn more useful medical knowledge to scientifically deal with the troubles and pain caused by the disease.
