How to treat bone cancer

With the progress of the times, people's living standards are getting higher and higher. While you are enjoying life with your family, have you ever thought about paying attention to some cancers? Although modern technology is advanced, due to the hidden nature of bone cancer, the symptoms of early cancer patients are extremely subtle. Clinically, it is found that most bone cancer patients have already reached the middle and late stages when they show obvious symptoms. Here, we remind our friends that even if you are not sick, you should pay attention to it. Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider your family. The health of your family is your own health.

Resection or curettage of the tumor with bone grafting can cure the patient. Patients with spinal cord disease sometimes need decompression and radiation therapy. Occasionally, recurrence after surgery requires a second surgery. The tumor may be locally invasive, malignant, and may turn into osteosarcoma and metastasize to the lungs.

Despite the availability of chemotherapy, amputation remains an emergency treatment measure in the treatment of osteosarcoma. The development of effective chemotherapy will lead to changes in long-standing treatment methods, especially changes in the timing, level, and site of radiation and dose of amputation.

The United States now uses selective amputation. In the British literature, about 1/3 of patients undergo amputation at the beginning, and most patients use the Cade method, which is amputation for those who have a chance of survival, that is, those who have no lung metastasis within 6 months after radiotherapy (radiation dose of 80Gy). In past statistics, the survival rate of primary and secondary amputations is similar. Some people believe that early amputation and tumor removal have the risk of local recurrence. The use of the Cade method can avoid unnecessary amputation before short-term death, but it is often difficult to make such a judgment.

In recent years, there has been more and more debate about amputation and limb-preserving surgery. Most people believe that the 2-year survival rate between the two is the same, so patients are willing to accept limb-preserving surgery, but the cost is high.

The outcome of bone cancer treatment is related to factors such as cell morphology, differentiation, and host effect of each tumor.

If bone cancer grows in the bones of the limbs, the treatment effect should be better than that of bone cancer growing in the bones of the trunk because it is easier to detect, metastasizes more slowly and is easier to treat.

Thanks to advances in medicine and the collaboration among patients, surgeons, radiologists and pathologists, the five-year survival rate of malignant bone cancer has increased from 15-20% to 60-70% after treatment.

Radiotherapy equipment For unexplained bone pain, the possible cause should be found out as soon as possible, and the possibility of bone cancer should not be ignored. If it can be detected and treated early, losing a hand or leg due to amputation is not a pity, but losing precious life is regrettable. Moreover, with the development of prosthetic and rehabilitation technology, prosthetics can accompany you to live a happy life.

The above is an introduction to "What are the specific treatments for bone cancer?" People who are related to the pathogenic factors of bone cancer are advised to take preventive measures against bone cancer.
