(M90.6*) Osteitis deformans in neoplastic disease

Osteitis deformans in neoplastic disease is caused by the spread of cancer to the bones, resulting in inflammation and destruction of the bone tissue. this can lead to weakened bones, deformity, and pain.

Osteitis deformans is a condition in which the bones become weakened and deformed due to the presence of cancerous cells. this is caused by the abnormal growth of cancer cells, which leads to an increase in pressure on the bones and a decrease in the amount of calcium in the bones. this results in the bones becoming weakened and deformed, which can lead to pain and difficulty in movement.

More details coming soon

• X-ray imaging
• CT scan
• MRI scan
• Bone biopsy
• Blood tests
• Urine tests
• Bone density tests
• Bone marrow tests

Additional measures:

• Physical examination
• Bone scan

Main Goal: To reduce pain and improve mobility

• Physical therapy to improve strength and flexibility
• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce inflammation
• Corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
• Surgical intervention to correct deformities
• Radiation therapy to reduce tumor size
• Chemotherapy to reduce tumor size
• Immunotherapy to stimulate the immune system
• Bone grafts or implants to replace damaged bone
• Stem cell therapy to promote healing

The prevention of osteitis deformans in neoplastic disease can be achieved through early diagnosis and treatment of the underlying neoplastic disease, as well as lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking. additionally, medications such as bisphosphonates can be used to reduce the risk of developing osteitis deformans.
