New discovery in bone cancer treatment method

The cause of bone cancer is still unclear, but it can be diagnosed based on clinical symptoms and radiological examinations. Treatments for bone cancer include surgery, cryosurgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc. The best treatment is radiotherapy combined with surgery.

Bone cancer patients who had a slim chance of surviving death are now "doing very well" under a new technology that harnesses the body's own immune power to treat one of the deadliest forms of cancer, according to reports.

The revolutionary technology involves preserving some of the patient's own life-saving bone marrow cells. These cells, which form the seeds of new bone marrow, are filtered from the blood.

The cells are frozen in liquid nitrogen while patients undergo cancer treatment and are later used to restore the body's immune and blood cell production systems, which would otherwise be destroyed by drugs and radiation.

So far, three patients with myeloma have been treated with this approach. The results are very encouraging, and the patients, one man and two women, have been treated for the past six months and are doing well.
