What is the best way to treat malignant bone cancer

How to treat malignant bone cancer? What is the best treatment for late-stage bone cancer? Bone cancer is a relatively serious disease, especially when the disease begins to flourish. We must first understand the treatment of bone cancer, because this disease is treatable, but we must be proactive when facing the disease. This is very critical. Then, we must pay more attention to the treatment of bone cancer.

1. First, make a clear diagnosis of whether bone cancer has bone metastasis: then the orthopedic surgeon will perform ECT or PET-CT examination, and then find abnormal parts. Finally, X-ray, enhanced CT, and MRI examinations can be performed to determine the site of bone destruction. After the lesion biopsy, the pathologist needs to give a tissue pathology diagnosis.

2. After the diagnosis is confirmed, it is important to clarify the overall condition, and then the most important thing is to check the location of the metastasis.

3. Consult with the doctor who treats the primary tumor, evaluate the patient's survival status, and develop a systemic treatment plan (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biological therapy, bisphosphonate therapy, etc.).

4. The orthopedic surgeon will assess the impact of bone metastasis on the patient's quality of life and the extent to which systemic treatment affects the patient, and determine a surgical treatment plan that is suitable for the patient. Patients and their families should note that the orthopedic surgeon's treatment is only part of the systemic treatment, which is to provide convenience for the patient to receive comprehensive treatment and improve the quality of life, rather than to cure the patient after orthopedic treatment. The more important treatment is to receive treatment for the primary tumor. A plan can only be formulated after a comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition.
