Osteocarcinoma By Jesse

There are approximately 180 out of every 200 people who get cancer in China, cancer is

now a very common type of illness in the world.

So What is cancer? Cancer is called malignant neoplasm. Cancer usually forms as a

tumor. Some cancers, such as leukemia, do not form tumors. Tumors are made of cancer

cells, and because the cancer cell is out of control, the cells divide uncontrollably and

forms a tumor. Cancer cells will cause the body to become weaker, because mitosis

needs nourishment. Cancer will release a lot of toxins, and the toxins will cause your body

have a series of symptoms. The worst is, cancer cells will move to other parts of body by

invading other normal organs and the lymphatic system, producing cancer cells. Bone

cancer is a type of cancer that invades other organs and the lymphatic system.

Bone cancer is called Osteocarcinoma, it grows on the skeleton system and it is

very hard to see. The sSkeleton system is same as other organisationsorgan systems,

suffering from tumors that come from any organisations transference pathology. Tumors

that violate the skeleton can occur in osteocytes, marrow, cartilage and synovium

composition. Osteoma has three levels. The most serious one is Highly malignant

osteoma, then low malignant osteoma, and the least serious is benign osteoma. We are

not sure of why Osteocarcinoma happenedhappens, but some scientists think that it is

related with to overgrowing of bones. Osteocarcinoma normally happens in the vertebrae

and pelvis.

Osteocarcinoma patients are like other cancer patients in their symptoms;, it subdues

patients‘ appetite, losing weight. The most common symptoms for bone cancer are tumors

on the bones, and pain, especially morning. When walking or moving around, joint and

body movement is limited.

Since the technology using used in medical medicine is better than before, there are

some treatment for cancer, also Osteocarcinoma. There’s an adage in China, “There is no

medicine against death”, since every medicine is not perfect. If you are a cancer

patient,don’t be afraid, because there is now being done at many medical centers,

university hospitals, and other institutions across the nation, There are several ongoing

clinical trials focusing on bone cancer and there are lots of treatments for Osteocarcinoma.

The most common treatment is chemotherapy, patients do this is to relieve pain, but this is

only the first step. IThen if the patients feel better, doctors will control the expanding of

tumor, and resume function. the last step is doctor and cancer experts will try to

completely control the tumor and cured.

The benefit of chemotherapy is effective treatment. Chemotherapy can let tumors narrow

quickly. And There’re a lot of way to dose to body, such as: pilling medicine, vein injection,

and etc. Chemotherapy can let people recovery the probability of recrudescence

recurrence is smaller, even than surgery, radiotherapy and Traditional Chinese medical

can’t do thismedicine. Chemotherapy can also according to patient’s condition and other

chemotherapy medicine affect to adopt combined chemotherapy, make best use of the

advantages and bypass the disadvantages, reduce side effect.

But chemotherapy retrain hematopoietic system, mainly retrain marrow and myeloplast,

then it will cause patients hemopoiesis. It let patients vomiting and subdue patients’

appetite. Chemotherapy could let other illnesses happen too, such as: toxipathic hepatitis,

liver fibrillation, etc. Because the chemotherapy can effect nuclein’s production, destroy

DNA, disturb transcription, and chemotherapy can’t differentiate normal cells and cancer

cells, it produces a lot of toxicity.

Another type of treatment is

radiotherapy. Radiotherapy is the use of high-

energy rays to destroy cancer cells, while doing

as little harm as possible to normal cells. It is the most common type of treatment for

secondary bone cancer as it is very effective for relieving symptoms such as pain or

swelling. Radiotherapy can be given in different ways. Sometimes a single dose is given.

This has the advantage that you will only need to make one visit to the radiotherapy

department. Sometimes your treatment may be divided into a number of sessions. Each

session is known as a fraction. Radiotherapy is normally given to the area of the bone

affected by the cancer. However, if the cancer is in several areas of bone it may be

necessary to give radiotherapy to a larger area. This may be referred to as hemibody

irradiation, which means treating half the body. It usually takes from 7–10 days for the

radiotherapy to start reducing the pain and it may take up to six weeks before you feel the

full effect. You may notice that the pain becomes slightly worse before getting better.

During this time it is important to continue taking the painkillers prescribed by your doctors.

As the pain improves, it may be possible to reduce the amount of painkillers you are

taking. It’s a good idea to discuss this with your doctor or nurse before adjusting the dose.

Although this type of treatment causes very few side effect, it still has side effects.

Treating bones in certain areas of the body, such as the ribs or the spine, may cause

some sickness for a day or so after the treatment.

For cancer patients’ social life,somebody may laugh at them, or away from them.

Sometimes they will get hurt, because they might get discrimination, and sometimes they

will get lonely, because nobody will talk to them. Then, they might get depression. But

there’re still a lot of optimistic patients, and they will become friends and take care each

other.

Because now the techniques for cancer treatments is not very advanced, so it costs a lot

of money to treat. For bone cancer, surgery is at least 10 thousand in China.

Radiotherapy costs 50~300 thousand RMB in China. So choosing radiotherapy is a very

heavy pressure for families. Most people choose traditional Chinese medical for

treatment.

Nowadays, cancer is violating humans and animals, if you are a cancer patient, being

optimistic and accept any treatment that helped you to recovery.
