What are the Treatment Options for Bone Fractures in Cancer Patients?
Treatment for bone fractures in cancer patients often involves a combination of approaches. Orthopedic surgery may be necessary to stabilize the fracture, especially in weight-bearing bones. Radiation therapy can be used to reduce pain and control tumor growth in the bone. Medications such as bisphosphonates and denosumab can help strengthen bones and reduce the risk of further fractures.
