New method to prevent osteosarcoma

Many people are afraid of osteosarcoma, which is understandable, because the degree of harm to patients caused by osteosarcoma is immeasurable. In order to avoid the harm of osteosarcoma to the body, we should do a good job of prevention in daily life. In this way, the disease will stay away from us. Let us learn about the new methods of preventing osteosarcoma.

In addition to the common methods of preventing bone tumors through lifestyle, diet, and mental prevention, we can also prevent them from the following aspects.

1. Physical factors and bone tumors:

a. Ionizing radiation (including radiotherapy) can cause bone tumors, mainly internal irradiation, especially bone-loving radionuclides (such as radium) are the main factors inducing bone tumors. Workers who come into contact with radium include luminous paint workers, chemical workers and patients receiving oral or intravenous radium drug treatment. The main measures to prevent ionizing radiation pollution are that the site of nuclear enterprises should be selected in a suitable area and tested, the factory process and equipment should be safe, wastewater and waste gas should be purified, and medical and scientific research workers and workers in related industries should strengthen their awareness of prevention and take protective measures.

b. Natural and artificial ultraviolet rays can cause skin cancer. You should reduce excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays or wear appropriate clothing, protective glasses, and sunscreen when doing outdoor activities.

c. Radon radiation in indoor environmental pollution (building decoration materials, etc.) is also an important carcinogenic factor. When choosing building materials, you should pay attention to keeping the room well ventilated and install an exhaust fan if conditions permit.

d. Electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones, computers, televisions, and microwave appliances. Use wired phones as much as possible, keep an arm's length away from the screen when using a computer, and do not watch TV for too long.

e. Injury and bone tumors Injury (including fractures, bleeding, scars, burns, etc.) may be related to bone tumors. For example, although the cause of giant cell tumor of bone is unknown, some cases have a history of trauma before the onset of the disease. In addition, epidermoid cysts, xanthomas (also known as giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath or benign synovial tumors), glomus tumors, mucoceles, synovial tumors, purulent granulomas, malignant melanomas, etc. in the soft tissue tumors of the hands and feet are all suspected to be related to local trauma. It can be seen that preventing injuries is also part of preventing bone tumors.

2. Chemical factors and bone tumors: (Chemical factors are the main cause of human tumors. Ninety percent of human cancers are caused by the environment, and more than 75 percent of them are chemical factors.) There are many types of chemical carcinogens, mainly including: alkylating agents (ethylene chloride, benzene, butadiene, carcinogenic alkylating drugs, formaldehyde, ethylene oxide, etc.) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (benzopyrene, coal tar, asphalt, etc.) carcinogens (croton oil, flute alcohol, etc.) aromatic amines (benzidine, ethylaniline, nitrobiphenyl, etc.) nitrosamines and nitrosamides metals and metalloids (arsenic, nickel, thorium, etc.) thermal decomposition products of food drugs (certain hormones, etc.) environmental pollution, pesticides, dyes, etc. in daily life may be related to cancer. Preventive measures are to control environmental pollution, strengthen the control and monitoring of pesticide pollution, and avoid contact between the body and dyes.

The above content is an introduction to the relevant knowledge about the prevention methods of bone tumors. In life, we must learn more about the relevant knowledge and do more preventive work in our daily life to reduce the occurrence of the disease. When the disease occurs, we must receive timely treatment and strengthen nursing work.
