BONE CANCER EXAMINATION
Thu, 20 Oct 2022
To confirm the diagnosis of bone cancer, several tests can be done:
• Examination of anamnesis / history of disease
• Physical examination
• Laboratory & non-laboratory examinations.
BONE CANCER DIAGNOSIS
1. Physical Examination
As with the examination of ordinary diseases or other cancers, a physical examination is needed to find out the cause of the disease and about the history of the disease that has been experienced before and the type of treatment that has been undertaken. If the doctor suspects cancer based on the symptoms felt, the doctor will advise the patient to do a follow-up examination.
2. Laboratory examination
The levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lactate dehydrogenation (LDH) were checked.
3. Non-Laboratory Examination
X-rays, MRI or CT scan, radionuclear, biopsy.
A biopsy is done by taking a sample of bone tissue affected by cancer to be examined under a microscope. Besides being able to determine the type of bone cancer the patient has, a biopsy can also detect the stage and spread of cancer.
4 (four) stages of bone cancer, namely:
Stage 1
At this stage, the cancer has not spread and is still in one area of the bone.
Stage 2
Cancer cells have started to grow, but have not spread to other tissues.
Stage 3
Cancer has spread to more than one area of the same bone.
Stage 4
Cancer has spread to other tissues and organs, such as the lungs, liver, or brain.
BONE CANCER TREATMENT:
1. Bone removal surgery
2. Amputation
3. Chemotherapy
4. Radiotherapy
