Bone Tumor Management
Bone tumours refer to abnormal growths or masses that develop within the bone. They can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Managing bone tumours requires a comprehensive approach that includes accurate diagnosis, timely medical intervention, and personalized treatment plans.
Causes and Risk Factors
The exact causes of bone tumours are still not fully understood. However, certain factors such as genetic mutations, hereditary conditions, and previous radiation therapy may increase the risk of developing bone tumours.
When to See the Doctor
If you experience persistent bone pain, unexplained swelling or lumps, fractures without significant trauma, or unexplained weight loss, it is essential to consult a doctor. These symptoms can indicate the presence of a bone tumor and prompt medical attention is crucial for early diagnosis and intervention.
Treatment and Surgery Options
Treatment for bone tumours may vary depending on the type, size, location, and stage of the tumour. Non-cancerous bone tumours may require monitoring, while malignant tumours often necessitate aggressive treatment approaches. Treatment options may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapies, and surgical intervention.
Surgery plays a significant role in the management of bone tumours. It involves removing the tumour, surrounding affected tissue, and reconstructing the bone if necessary. The surgical approach may range from minimally invasive procedures to more extensive resections, depending on the tumour characteristics and the patient's specific needs.
