Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumors (DSRCT) Treatment
Success in the treatment of children’s sarcoma in Israeli clinics largely depends on the type of tumour. Neoplasms of the different structure may have different clinical symptoms and require different treatment tactics. The choice of surgical treatment for bone cancer in Israel is based on the same principle.
The desmoplastic tumour of small round cells is an aggressive and rare cancer, which primarily occurs as masses in the abdomen. Other areas affected may include lymph nodes, abdominal mucosa, diaphragm, spleen, liver, thoracic wall, skull, spinal cord, colon, small intestine, bladder, brain, lungs, testes, ovaries, and pelvis. Childhood cancer is thought to predominantly affect boys and young adults. The disease is rare in women, but when it does, the tumour can be mistaken for ovarian cancer.
Symptoms of oncological pathologies
The causes of the disease are unknown. Experts believe that genetic predisposition and radiation could provoke the formation of sarcoma. Patients who show bone cancer note the presence of the following symptoms:
- the appearance of wearable pain, which increases at night;
- presence of limp;
- appearance of bone deformation;
- restriction of movement in joints;
- presence of seals near the bone.
If you find the above signs of the disease, you need to urgently contact specialists to clarify the diagnosis.
Treatment of the disease
After the diagnosis is confirmed, the doctor scans adjacent organs to determine the area of metastasis spread. Each patient receives an individual treatment plan that takes into account his age, possible chronic diseases, the size and localization of the tumour, the degree of malignancy, the presence of contraindications.
Tel Aviv Medical Clinic specialists use innovative approaches in the treatment of bone sarcomas. With the help of the latest equipment, it is possible to detect the pathology at the initial stage and successfully cure it. Our skilled physicians take a comprehensive approach to cancer management that includes chemotherapy, surgery, and drug treatment. In cases where the tumour cannot be physically removed, the surgeon uses minimally invasive radiotherapy and radiation irradiation techniques.
