Amputation is not present in the early days the preferred method of bone cancer, through chemotherapy and limb-salvage surgery, not only to maintain the original quality of life of patients, but 5-year survival rate can reach 70%.
Six months ago, lives in rural areas, Arjun was diagnosed with suffering from osteosarcoma of the left tibia, which is commonly known as bone cancer. The doctor told Arjun to save lives, the only way is to amputation, or the proliferation of cancer cells, once transferred, even if the gods are beyond resurrection. However, the young Arjun 1 to amputation, left to his family how to persuade do not agree with.
In Guangzhou Tumor Hospital, the hospital bone oncology doctor, Wang Jin-introduction, bone cancer patients, only about 10% of terminally ill patients requiring amputation! Moreover, the bone of patients after amputation, tumor metastasis and recurrence risk remains high, the patient's five-year survival rate is only about 20%. By contrast, if can take standard chemotherapy, and in line with limb-salvage surgery, bone cancer 5-year survival rate of patients are able to reach 70%.
According to reports, the so-called limb-salvage surgery at present There are two main ways: one is the entire length of the tumor joints replaced with artificial joints replaced, and the other is through microwave technology to tumor burned to death, removal, retention in patients with the original joint and bone shell, and then re-use a special material "bone cement" filling dispel the lesions left by the "empty" and finally combined with a fixed. "Probably half a year later, these 'bone cement' will be absorbed by the body, surgery will be to re-grow parts of the patient's own bone." Dr. Wang stressed that the course of treatment, preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy is critical, "must be some standard, professional regimen in order to ensure that the effect of such limb-sparing surgery. "At the same time, limb-sparing surgery in patients with bone cancer and not all can be done, this procedure applies only to those in the early days, and the tumor next to the blood vessels, nerves and soft tissues have not been violated bone cancer patients.
