Bone Cancer: unfortunately, doctors have been unable to pinpoint any preventative techniques specific to primary bone cancer, as this rare form of the disease accounts for less than 1 percent of all cancer diagnoses. However, researchers have identified several key risk factors you should be concerned about this potentially deadly disease and bone sarcomas.
Therefore, if you know there’s a history of the disease in your family, you should focus your efforts on early detection to prevent the disease from reaching an advanced stage. Research also believe people with a genetic condition known as Paget’s disease have elevated bone cancer risk. If you’re genetically predisposed to bone cancer, stop smoking, tobacco use in any form increases your chances of developing the disease.
Oncologist stress the importance of controlling your eating habits, avoiding excess calories, choosing healthy low fat foods instead. Limiting your saturated fats and red meat while eating whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables. Regular exercise is also believed to limit cancer risk and you should always undergo regular cancer screening and tell your doctor about any symptom. Those fruits and veggies are super foods!!!
Secondary Bone Cancer usually results from the metastasis, or spread of other forms of cancer into the bones. For this to happen the original form of cancer must remain undetected and untreated for a considerable period. If you’ve already contracted a form of cancer and want to stop it from spreading to your bones. Follow your oncologist’s advice… complete all prescribed treatments in full.
One of the newest and most promising treatments is proton therapy, focused ultrasound therapy and radio frequency ablation that targets the tumor and not the healthy surrounding. With follow up care especially important, since cancer tends to recur in individuals who have already had it. A Holistic Doctor can be a vital addition to any cancer patients recovery team, with tracking vitamin and mineral deficiencies through blood test (while keeping the cancer at bay and NOT turning stage 4.)
