How to differentiate bone cancer patients?

Differential diagnosis of bone cancer has positive clinical significance for early diagnosis and early treatment. Differential diagnosis of bone cancer is to distinguish bone cancer from other similar diseases. Below, hospital experts will tell you how to clinically differentiate bone cancer from the following diseases:

1. Chronic mandibular osteomyelitis: X-ray examination of patients with a history of inflammation may show bone destruction and reparative changes in periosteal hyperplasia. When clinical and X-ray examinations cannot differentiate, frozen sections should be performed during surgery to rule out central mandibular cancer.

2. Neuritis: It is rare in clinical practice. The numbness may be mild or severe, and no bone destruction is found in X-ray examination.

3. Central hemangioma of the mandible: X-ray films show that the mandibular opening changes into a trumpet shape and the mandible is enlarged.

4. Alveolar abscess: There is redness, swelling, heat, pain and functional impairment of the affected tooth and local area, but there is no numbness of the lower lip.

In addition, in addition to distinguishing bone cancer from the above diseases, benign bone tumors are also differentiated from malignant bone tumors in clinical practice. Because the treatment methods and prognosis of benign bone tumors and malignant bone tumors are different, the following aspects are mainly considered when distinguishing the two:

1. Overall manifestation: Patients with benign bone tumors are generally in good condition, with normal body temperature, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and blood count. Only a few patients will experience pain. However, patients with malignant bone tumors often experience fever, weight loss, anemia, obvious pain symptoms, and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Cachexia often occurs in the late stage of malignant bone tumors.

2. Development process: Benign bone tumors generally develop slowly, and some may stop developing after reaching a certain extent; while malignant tumors develop rapidly and are highly destructive. As malignant bone tumors continue to grow, they often show surface venous distension.

3. Metastatic symptoms: Benign bone tumors generally do not cause metastatic symptoms, but primary malignant bone tumors are prone to metastasis to various tissues, organs and other bones.

4. X-ray imaging: Benign bone tumors have relatively clear boundaries under X-rays, and often have a clear demarcation line between them and normal bone, and generally have no periosteal reaction; malignant bone tumors have unclear boundaries, unclear demarcation lines between them and normal bone, and disordered periosteal reaction, which often appears as sunlight radiation.

Experts point out that: With the help of various effective diagnostic methods, benign bone tumors can be accurately distinguished from malignant bone tumors, which is more conducive to the early detection and early treatment of bone cancer. We recommend that you should seek medical attention in time if you have similar symptoms in your daily life, so as not to delay the best treatment time and cause irreparable losses to the patient.
