How to prevent the occurrence of bone cancer

How to prevent the occurrence of bone cancer? Bone tumor is a very serious disease in our lives. Although medicine is very developed now. But some people still suffer from bone tumor disease, which may have a lot to do with people's diet and some bad habits in life. These people usually don't pay much attention. There is no awareness of prevention. Let's introduce how to prevent bone tumors.

Comprehensive knowledge of bone tumor prevention

In preventive medicine, there are three levels of prevention measures for bone tumors, which are to block their occurrence and development from three main links:

Primary prevention (i.e. etiological prevention) refers to eliminating or reducing cancer risk factors for the general population, promoting health, preventing problems before they occur, and reducing exposure to harmful factors in the environment, so as to reduce the incidence of bone tumors.

1. Physical factors and bone tumors:

a. Ionizing radiation (including radiotherapy) can cause bone tumors, mainly internal irradiation, especially bone-attaching radionuclides (such as radium) are the main factors inducing bone tumors. Workers who come into contact with radium include luminous paint workers, chemical workers and patients receiving 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;

b. 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;

c. 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 well ventilated and install an exhaust fan if conditions permit;

d. Electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones, computers, televisions, and microwaves. Try to use wired phones as much as possible, stay at arm's length from the screen when using a computer, and don't watch TV for too long.

e. 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;

2. Chemical factors and bone tumors:

(Chemical factors are the main cause of human tumors. Ninety percent of human cancers are caused by the environment, and more than 75 percent of them are chemical factors.) There are many types of chemical carcinogens. Preventive measures are to control environmental pollution, strengthen the control and monitoring of pesticide pollution, and avoid contact between the body and dyes.

3. Biological factors and bone tumors:

a. Viruses Although virus particles have been found in osteosarcomas, whether bone tumors originate from viruses is still a hot topic in current tumor research. Viruses change the arrangement of genes, thereby causing tumors, which has become a hot topic in current tumor etiology. The relationship between some viruses and tumors in certain parts of the body is now very clear, such as Epstein-Barr virus and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, cervical cancer and herpes simplex virus, and AIDS and malignant tumors.

b. Infectious synovitis caused by bacteria and fungi, such as those with lower virulence, may be related to the occurrence of synovial tumors. Pyogenic granulomas are mostly caused by infection or trauma, and bone cysts may also be related to infection.

c. Parasites such as schistosomiasis are related to colorectal cancer and bladder cancer, but the parasites related to bone tumors have yet to be recognized. Biological factors causing cancer are spreading at an alarming rate. Comprehensive measures should be taken, such as publicizing the sources of infection, transmission methods and consequences of biological factors causing cancer, popularizing prevention and treatment, improving monitoring and controlling epidemics, and strengthening border quarantine to prevent the introduction of diseases.

4. Diet and bone tumors: There are many carcinogens that enter food from the environment, as the saying goes, "diseases come from the mouth."

a. Food processing is becoming increasingly industrialized and multi-step, which may cause various chemical and biological carcinogens to contaminate food. Food storage and cooking (such as smoking, frying, baking, etc.), food additives such as Sudan Red No. 1 and other pigments, spices, preservatives, sweeteners, etc. are all related to the occurrence of tumors.

b. Environmental factors and living conditions cause people to develop different eating habits, which have a significant impact on their lives.

c. A high-fat diet can cause cancer, dietary fiber has health-preserving and cancer-preventing effects, vitamins are closely related to the occurrence and development of many cancers, and food with too much or too little protein can easily cause cancer.

Medical research tells us that cancer is not contagious. The real root cause of "couple cancer" is the same unhealthy lifestyle of the couple. Smoking, excessive drinking, unscientific tea drinking (such as tea addiction), cosmetics, home office supplies, excessive work pressure, long periods of sitting, lack of sleep, overeating, excessive chili consumption, cooking fumes, etc. In addition, some drugs are related to tumors, such as anticancer drugs themselves, sex hormone drugs (including contraceptives), immunosuppressants, certain anesthetic drugs, etc. Developing a healthy lifestyle is an important part of cancer prevention.

6. Human endogenous factors: genetic factors, immune factors, and endocrine factors, such as growth hormone, can stimulate the development of cancer, leading to rapid growth of malignant bone tumors in adolescents and early metastasis.

7. Social and psychological factors and bone tumors Maintaining physical and mental health and suppressing negative emotions are the key.

Secondary prevention (i.e., etiological prevention) is to screen specific high-risk groups for precancerous lesions or early bone tumor cases, such as regular health checks at hospital physical examination centers, to detect early lesions and treat them in a timely manner, so as to achieve early detection, early prevention, and early treatment to improve cure rates and reduce mortality rates.

Level 3 prevention: Treat bone tumor patients to prevent recurrence, prevent disability, improve survival and recovery rates, reduce clinical complications, relieve pain caused by bone tumors, and prolong life. Improve quality of life and symptomatic treatment, such as the World Health Organization's three-level cancer analgesia ladder treatment plan.

The above is some information about the prevention of bone tumors. I have many diseases in my life. It is because we do not pay attention to it, so as to prevent it from happening again. So we should start with prevention. After all, prevention is the most important thing. Otherwise, it will be more troublesome to treat the disease. As long as we prevent it more often, we will have a healthy body.
