What are the symptoms of bone cancer

Bone cancer mainly includes primary bone cancer and secondary bone cancer. The main symptoms are the formation of some local masses, which may be accompanied by severe pain and affect limb movement. Primary bone cancer can be treated surgically, with surgery as the main treatment, followed by comprehensive treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. If it is secondary bone cancer, the symptoms may be similar to those of primary bone cancer, but of course the pain may not be as severe. For secondary bone cancer, bisphosphonates can be used regularly every month to inhibit bone cell destruction, and local radiotherapy can be used to relieve pain. Further treatment is also required for the primary lesion.

Treatment of bone cancer

The treatment of bone cancer mainly refers to the treatment of the primary lesion, such as surgery or close observation. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be further performed to treat primary bone cancer. For metastatic bone cancer, some retro drugs are generally used for treatment. Bisphosphonates can be used regularly every month, and calcium is supplemented to prevent osteoporosis. Secondary bone cancer also has more limited lesions and may be able to be operated on, but most are not suitable for surgical treatment. Bone cancer may generally manifest as local bone pain, as well as severe clinical symptoms such as anemia.

Can bone cancer be cured?

Bone cancer is generally divided into primary bone cancer and metastatic bone cancer. Generally speaking, early primary bone cancer may be cured, but most of them are found in the middle and late stages of bone cancer, which cannot be completely cured. We can only try to control the progression of the disease and prolong the survival period. Among primary bone cancers, bone cancer mainly refers to primary osteosarcoma. The main symptoms at the beginning are local pain, lump formation, and impact on limb movement. For those who can undergo surgery, extended surgery is the main treatment, and after surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted drugs and other comprehensive treatments are used to control the progression of the disease and prolong survival. However, whether it can be cured can only be seen during treatment, and there is no way to be completely sure.
