How to treat bone cancer

Among various malignant tumors, bone cancer has a high mortality rate and is very harmful to patients. So what are the methods for treating bone cancer? Let's talk about the methods for treating bone cancer.

1. Surgical treatment: Currently, the commonly used surgical treatment methods for bone cancer include curettage, resection, amputation, limb resection and distal replantation of the bone tumor segment, amputation, and joint disarticulation.

2. Chemotherapy: Bone cancers suitable for chemotherapy include undifferentiated reticular cell sarcoma, primary reticular cell sarcoma of bone, multiple myeloma and some bone metastases.

3. Radiotherapy: The 5-year survival rate of surgical treatment of bone cancer was 10% to 20% before the 1970s. In recent years, after the use of comprehensive treatment of bone cancer (including radiotherapy and chemotherapy), it has increased to 60% to 80%. Intraoperative radiotherapy is a one-time high-dose irradiation, and its biological effect is 2 to 2.5 times that of conventional fractionated irradiation, which can effectively block the repair of tumor cells.

4. Chinese medicine treatment: Chinese herbal medicine plays a very important role in the treatment of bone cancer, because it can be added or subtracted, and the formula can be tailored to the individual. This is actually the biggest feature of Chinese medicine, so we advocate prescribing medicine for two to three weeks, because the climate needs to be adjusted and the symptoms need to be improved, and it should be tailored to the individual and the time.

TCM has more advantages in whole body adjustment. Early treatment of bone cancer may require two fists. It should be said that TCM has obvious advantages in controlling symptoms, improving symptoms, and improving long-term trends. During chemotherapy, combined with Chinese medicine, bone density can be significantly increased, bone lesions can be significantly controlled, and pain can be significantly improved. It is very effective in treating bone cancer. Therefore, in the process of treating bone cancer, chemotherapy should be used, radiotherapy should be used, and Chinese medicine should be used.
