Several common surgical methods for treating bone cancer

Bone cancer is a malignant tumor that seriously threatens the patient's life. It refers to the skeletal system suffering from tumors of any tissue components or metastatic lesions from other organs. What are the methods for treating bone cancer? The following is a discussion of surgical treatment methods for bone cancer .

In general, common surgical treatments for bone cancer include:

Resection is a surgery to remove a tumor that protrudes out of the bone from its base. It is mainly applicable to osteochondroma and is one of the more common surgical methods for treating bone cancer. The resection should include the cartilage cap of the tumor, the fibrous tissue surrounding the cap, and the entire base.

Bone resection is to remove the entire section of the bone where the tumor is located to achieve the purpose of treating bone cancer. It is suitable for giant cell tumors with a large destruction range and some low-grade malignant tumors such as fibrosarcoma and chondrosarcoma. Some defects left after bone resection do not need to be repaired, such as the proximal fibula and the distal ulna, but most of them need to be repaired with artificial joints, allogeneic bones or autologous bones.

Tumor segment excision and distal replantation is a new development in limb replantation. The entire segment of the limb where the tumor is located, including the skin, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and bones, is excised, and the distal limb is transplanted to the proximal part. This surgical method for treating bone cancer is suitable for low-grade malignant tumors of the upper limbs such as fibrosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, etc.

The above is an introduction to the common surgical treatment methods for bone cancer. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Bone cancer patients should choose the treatment method that suits them according to their actual condition and should not choose blindly.
