How is cancer cell bone metastases treated
summary
Every cancer, when it develops to a certain stage, may have the phenomenon of metastasis, here to introduce the treatment of bone metastasis of breast cancer cells. The same is true of breast cancer. It is understood that advanced breast cancer will metastasize with the aggravation of the disease, and the metastatic organs include brain, lung, liver, bone and so on. Bone metastasis is the most common, the metastasis rate is as high as 70%, mostly occurs in the ribs, sternum, thoracic spine and lumbar spine. And this has caused greater harm to the patient's body, which needs active treatment. Then, how to treat bone metastasis of breast cancer? Now, let's share the treatment of bone metastasis of breast cancer.
How is cancer cell bone metastases treated
First, the goal and principle of treatment. If breast cancer patients have bone metastasis, the goal should be to treat the disease and improve the quality of treatment. Experts said that the treatment of bone metastases from breast cancer should first focus on systemic treatment. The treatment of bone metastasis of breast cancer is mainly the internal medicine treatment of tumor, including chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, molecular targeted therapy, on this basis, combined with bisphosphate drugs, which are the basic drug treatment of bone metastasis of breast cancer.
The purpose of surgical treatment of bone metastases is to prolong life, relieve symptoms, improve the quality of life, prevent or treat pathological fractures, and relieve nerve compression. For example, the tumor invades periosteum to form pathological fracture, causing severe pain; when the spinal cord metastases, the cancer cells can protrude into the medullary cavity or form pathological and compressive fracture, and finally oppress the spinal cord to cause paraplegia.
Third: personalized treatment. For the treatment of breast cancer, we also need to pay attention to the principle of individualization, according to the specific situation of patients, in the specific treatment link, the choice of medication time, the determination of dosage and the timing of combined medication. At present, many patients with bone pain, fractures and other "bone related" events, to the hospital examination, found bone metastases, and then began treatment. But the best time for treatment is just before the appearance of bone pain, fracture and other symptoms.
matters needing attention
If the treatment of bone metastasis of breast cancer is timely and effective, it can greatly relieve the pain of patients, make patients recover function, improve the quality of life, prolong the survival period, and achieve the goal of bone metastasis treatment of breast cancer. Therefore, the reexamination and follow-up of breast cancer patients with bone metastasis can not be ignored. After the treatment, the reexamination should be carried out every three months in the first two years, and half a year after three years.
