Is bone cancer dangerous?

Bone cancer is a common bone tissue disease. Its early clinical symptoms are easily ignored, so many patients are already in the late stage when they discover the disease. Late stage bone cancer is very harmful and difficult to treat. What is more dangerous is that if the treatment is not timely, it will cause greater harm. So, is bone cancer harmful?

1. Bone cancer is a malignant tumor originating from plasma cells in the bone marrow. It is a common malignant tumor, which can be single or multiple, with the latter being more common. The patient's physical function is also an important factor in determining how long a patient can live in the late stage of cancer. Only with good physical function and strong immunity can one resist the development of cancer and tolerate various treatments. Therefore, improving immune function and enhancing resistance to tumors is extremely important for patients with advanced cancer.

2. The harm of bone cancer is closely related to the condition. Early patients may show fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, nausea, etc.

Vomiting, weight loss, confusion or coma, etc. In severe cases, hypercalcemia crisis may occur, which is often manifested as dehydration, high fever, heart rhythm disorder, heart and kidney failure or death. Metastasis in the late stage of bone cancer often leads to a significant increase in serum calcium concentration, resulting in calcium metabolism disorder, which is clinically known as hypercalcemia. Therefore, while actively treating the primary disease, attention should also be paid to low-calcium diet, maintaining a good mental outlook and psychological factors, in order to achieve better therapeutic effects.

3. Many patients think that there is no way to treat bone cancer in the late stage. In fact, as long as it can be treated in time before the cancer spreads, it can achieve good treatment effects and effectively prolong the patient's survival time. Bone cancer is often treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Although this method can effectively inhibit the growth of bone cancer cells, it will also cause a significant decline in the patient's physical condition. Therefore, targeted treatment is required according to the patient's condition in order to achieve good treatment effects in the shortest time.

After the above introduction, everyone should know the harm of bone cancer. Therefore, people with bone cancer must go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time. In addition, for people with bone cancer, eat less spicy food. This is very helpful for the treatment of bone cancer.
