Can giant cell tumor of bone be inherited

summary

A few days ago, a colleague in the unit found out that he had giant cell tumor of bone. Because his wife was just pregnant, she was very worried that this disease would be passed on to her offspring. Let's share with you the common problem of whether giant cell tumor of bone will be inherited!

Can giant cell tumor of bone be inherited

First, giant cell tumor of bone is not hereditary. Giant cell tumor of bone is highly invasive and has a great effect on the dissolution and destruction of bone. A few of them have the tendency of reactive new bone formation and self-healing. They can pass through the bone cortex to form soft tissue mass. The recurrence rate is high after curettage. A few of them can have local malignant transformation or lung metastasis (so-called benign metastasis).

Second, the main clinical manifestation of giant cell tumor of bone is that the pain in patients with large lesion range is pain or dull pain, occasionally severe pain and nocturnal pain, which is the main reason for patients to seek medical treatment. Some patients have local swelling, which may be related to bone swelling. When the lesion was broken, the soft tissue penetrated into the cortex. Patients often have tenderness and increased skin temperature, which is one of the bases for judging postoperative recurrence.

Third, the treatment of giant cell tumor of bone is mainly surgical resection, with curettage and inactivation, implantation of autologous or allogeneic cancellous bone or bone cement. The recurrence rate of this disease is high. For the patients with recurrence, resection or segmental resection or prosthesis implantation should be performed. For g1-2t1-2m0, extensive or radical resection is recommended. This disease is not effective to chemotherapy. For those who are difficult to operate (such as spine), radiotherapy can be used.

matters needing attention

The diet of patients with giant cell tumor of bone should be light and warm, such as jujube and lotus seed for patients with Qi deficiency; peanut and walnut for patients with blood deficiency; kiwi and asparagus for patients with Yin deficiency; beans and ginger for patients with Yang deficiency.
