Vasculitis is not considered cancer.
Vasculitis is a heterogeneous group of diseases in which inflammation and destruction of blood vessels are the main pathological changes, with different clinical manifestations, mostly causing systemic damage, usually associated with genetic, immunologic, infectious, and pharmacologic factors.
Vasculitis is not considered cancer, and this disease is usually seen in rheumatology or vascular surgery. Patients may present with malaise, fever, and general malaise, and may involve multiple systems. The main manifestations are fibrosis, stenosis, and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the vessel wall, which may lead to ischemic changes, or localized verrucous dilatation and formation of aneurysms.
The basic medication for vasculitis is glucocorticoids, such as prednisone, etc. Immunosuppressive drugs can also be used for treatment, such as cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, methotrexate, etc. For patients with significant stenosis or occlusion of the blood vessels, surgical treatment, such as percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, stenting, etc., is required.
Vasculitis can be controlled through active treatment and improve the symptoms. It is recommended that patients with vasculitis go to the hospital in time and actively cooperate with the doctor to avoid delaying the condition and causing adverse effects.
