LCH treatment refers to the management and care provided for Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH). Treatment approaches vary depending on the extent and location of the disease. For newly diagnosed childhood LCH bone lesions in specific locations, the following treatments may be considered:
- Surgery (curettage): This involves surgically scraping away the LCH lesion.
- Steroid therapy: Steroids may be used in conjunction with or without surgery.
- Low-dose radiation therapy: This option is considered for lesions that affect nearby organs or cause pain and are not treatable by other methods.
In summary, LCH treatment strategies are tailored to the individual patient and the specific characteristics of their disease, with surgery, steroid therapy, and radiation therapy being potential options for bone lesions.
