What is malignant fibrous tumor and what to do

Malignant fibrous tumor generally refers to malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is often considered to be caused by family inheritance, congenital developmental abnormalities, etc., but it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by hormone disorders, exposure to chemicals, radiation exposure, etc. This disease is a malignant lesion and is highly malignant, so it is necessary to seek medical attention in time. Under the guidance of a doctor, surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy can be used to delay disease progression and prolong patient survival. The specific introduction is as follows:

1. Causes of Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma

1. Family inheritance: If both parents have malignant fibrous histiocytoma, the patient will carry certain genetic genes in the body, which may induce the disease.

2. Congenital developmental abnormalities: If the patient has congenital developmental abnormalities in local tissues during the embryonic period, malignant fibrous histiocytoma may develop, resulting in symptoms such as local swelling and pain when touched.

3. Hormone disorder: If you are often angry or stay up late, it may affect the normal secretion of hormones in your body and may also cause malignant fibrous histiocytoma. You need to adjust your work and rest schedule, ensure adequate sleep time, and keep a happy mood.

4. Exposure to chemical substances: If you do not pay attention to protection and are often exposed to chemical substances, such as vinyl chloride and phenoxyacetic acid, it may damage cells in the body and induce malignant fibrous histiocytoma. You need to stay away from this environment in time.

5. Radiation exposure: If the patient has a weak constitution and is exposed to radiation for a long time, or has a history of radiation treatment, it may damage his own immunity and may also cause malignant fibrous histiocytoma.

Patients with a history of chronic ulcers or scars, as well as osteonecrosis, fibrous dysplasia, and intraosseous liposarcoma, may also develop malignant fibrous histiocytoma.

Treatment of malignant fibrous histiocytoma

1. Surgical resection: Surgery is a relatively effective way to treat malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The scope of surgical resection is crucial. In order to reduce the recurrence rate, sufficient surgical margins should be removed during the first surgery before the cancer cells spread to the surrounding tissues and lymph nodes. Another surgery can be performed in case of local recurrence.

2. Chemotherapy: After surgical resection, chemotherapy can be performed to kill cancer cells or prevent their growth, improve the patient's prognosis and quality of life. Commonly used drugs include ifosfamide, doxorubicin, methotrexate, dacarbazine, cisplatin, etc. The specific medication should be taken according to the doctor's advice.

3. Radiotherapy: After surgical resection, high-energy beams of radiation can be used to kill cancer cells.

If both parents have malignant fibrous histiocytoma, it is recommended that children go to the hospital for regular checkups to detect and treat the disease early. If the patient has symptoms such as soft tissue lumps, bone pain, pathological fractures, cough, and blood in sputum, they should seek medical attention in a timely manner to determine the cause and then follow the doctor's advice for targeted treatment.
