What tests are needed to diagnose bone cancer? Bone tumors can be said to have brought endless harm to many patients. People suffering from this disease have many symptoms, including severe pain, which spreads throughout the body. When we understand the examination methods of the disease, we can detect the existence of the disease early and provide corresponding treatment.

1. X-ray examination can provide valuable information for clarifying the nature, type, and extent of bone tumors and determining treatment strategies. It is an important examination method for bone tumors.

2. When tumors occurring in the pelvis, spine and other parts of the body cannot be displayed well by ordinary X-rays, new imaging technologies such as CT scans, B-ultrasound, MRI, ECT and so on can help determine the location and extent of the tumor.

3. Isotope bone scan can show the presence of primary and secondary bone tumors before ordinary X-rays show positive changes. For suspected cases, 99-technetium bone scan should be performed selectively.

4. Histological examination: The final diagnosis of bone tumors depends on histological examination, and biopsy is usually performed to obtain tissue specimens.

The above content is an introduction to the relevant knowledge about the examination methods of bone tumors. Knowing more about bone tumors will help us be prepared, because we don’t know when the disease will occur. We must attach importance to prevention in our lives. Doing corresponding prevention will prevent bone tumors from happening.
