No more painful metastases to endure

Metastatic spinal cancer can cause a group of syndromes including pain, active or autonomic dysfunction, and sensory disturbances that depend largely on the rate of tumor growth, the degree of bone involvement and destruction, the degree of nerve compression, and the extent of systemic disease. Rapid tumor growth can lead to rapid progression of symptoms. Dissolving tumors can lead to pathological fractures or deformities due to bone destruction. Metastatic tumors can also lead to nerve root involvement and spinal cord compression, causing radiculopathy and myelopathy accordingly. In addition, signs of systemic disease, including wasting, loss of appetite, or organ failure, may be manifested. In bulky cases of sacral metastases, significant paravertebral or even rectal masses may be found on physical examination. Many people do not know enough about bone metastases and consider them to be terminal, so they adopt a negative attitude in treatment and even abandon treatment as “terminal disease”. With the widespread development of comprehensive treatment and the development and progress of surgery, this old concept should be abandoned, and appropriate surgical treatment has definite effects on reducing pain, improving quality of life and prolonging survival. PVP has been widely used as a palliative treatment option for spinal metastases because of its efficacy in treating pain caused by spinal metastases and its safety profile, which is recognized by clinicians. The analgesic and tumor control effects of PVP are related to the following aspects: 1. Bone cement has a significant thermogenic effect during the polymerization phase, especially during the sclerosis phase, up to 82°C. This thermogenic effect can cause necrosis of some adjacent nerve endings, thus producing an analgesic effect. At the same time, the high temperature greater than 70℃ can inactivate the tumor cells in the lesion; 2.Increases the strength of the vertebral body, improves the stability of the vertebral body, reduces the compression symptoms and avoids the appearance of new microfractures; 3.The mechanical compression effect produced by the injection of bone cement partially or completely cuts off the blood supply of the tumor, thus accelerating the necrosis of the tumor tissue; 4.The toxic effect of the monomer of bone cement damages the nerve endings, thus causing The toxic effect of the monomer of bone cement damages the nerve endings, thus relieving pain by decreasing the sensitivity of nerve endings, and also inactivating tumor cells. The advantages of PVP are as follows: 1. percutaneous puncture does not require open surgery, which is less invasive. 3, the efficacy is certain, the patient’s symptoms of low back pain are obviously reduced or disappeared within a few days after surgery, and the efficacy can be maintained for a long time. Vertebroplasty is effective for low back pain caused by vertebral compression fractures in the elderly, and it can restore the mobility of the elderly as soon as possible, and the patient can generally walk on the ground the day after surgery. It is also effective in controlling vertebral metastases and other sites of bone metastases. We have formed corresponding specialized features and have a high academic level in the field of minimally invasive surgical treatment of spinal tumors, etc. We have rich experience in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, vertebral hemangioma, vertebral metastases, myeloma and bone metastases from other parts of the body in the elderly with percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). If you have such patients around you who are experiencing back pain, please feel free to contact us, and we hope our advanced technology and philosophy can help patients solve their painful disorders.
