How is pediatric metastatic bone tumor treated?

Patient's question:

Recently, I heard that the child of our neighbor, Li, has been experiencing joint pain and muscle weakness. Yesterday, after checking at the hospital, it was found that he has childhood metastatic bone tumors. We are all very worried about the child. We want to urgently learn how to treat childhood metastatic bone tumors.

Doctor's answer:

Hello,
1. Radiotherapy.
2. Hormone therapy, such as orchiectomy and the use of estrogen, is a conventional treatment for prostate cancer, with only 30% being ineffective. Orchiectomy has no adverse reactions and can increase the 3-5-year survival rate by three times. Hormone therapy for breast cancer can lead to significant improvement in 20%-40% of patients.
