Radiotherapy for bone cancer

In recent years, bone cancer has gradually risen again, and bone cancer screening has been raised to a position that needs to be taken seriously. Humans are afraid of death, but when it is really irreversible, they are powerless. There are countless people who have died from cancer, and bone cancer is one of the killers. People who are usually very careful and cautious will find symptoms in the early stage, but some people do not have any symptoms in the early stage, so it is best to check regularly. Clinically, it is found that most bone cancer patients have reached the middle and late stages when they show obvious symptoms. Here, we remind the majority of friends who are related to bone cancer to pay attention.

1. Suitable for radiotherapy: Undifferentiated reticular cell sarcoma in malignant bone tumors, primary reticular cell sarcoma of bone, single lesions of multiple myeloma, hemangioma, aneurysmal bone cyst and eosinophilic granuloma in benign bone tumors or tumor-like lesions are all suitable for radiotherapy.

2. Postoperative radiotherapy: If the surgery for vertebral giant cell tumor is not complete, radiotherapy can be used as an adjuvant, which has a better effect. Sacrococcygeal chordoma or synovial sarcoma can also be treated with radiotherapy after surgical resection to prevent recurrence.

3. Palliative radiotherapy: Radiotherapy can be used for sarcomas of the trunk bone that cannot be surgically removed to control their growth. Radiotherapy for bone metastases can also reduce pain and sometimes limit their growth.

4. Those who are prohibited from radiotherapy: Except for the above-mentioned types of benign tumors that are suitable for radiotherapy, radiotherapy is prohibited for all other cases.

In addition to deep x-ray machines, radiotherapy can also be performed with the alpha rays produced by cobalt-60, which have the characteristics of strong penetrating power and light skin damage, and are widely used. In addition, the radioactive isotope phosphorus-32 can be used to treat multiple myeloma, iodine-131 can be used to treat bone metastasis of thyroid cancer, and gold-198 can be used to treat intrathoracic metastasis.
