Ese kanseri igira ingaruka ku magufwa? Reka tumenye neza iyi Bone Scan!

Iyo umenye ko wowe cyangwa umuntu uzi afite kanseri, muganga wawe azakugira inama yo gukora ibizamini bitandukanye, si byo se? Hari igihe izi selile za kanseri zishobora gukwirakwira mu bindi bice by'umubiri, cyane cyane mu magufwa. Muri ibyo bihe, ikizamini cyihariye cyitwa 'gupima amagufwa' gikorwa kugira ngo harebwe neza niba kanseri yagize ingaruka ku magufwa, cyangwa uburyo ubuvuzi bwagize ingaruka ku magufwa. Ushobora kumva ufite ubwoba gato iyo wumvise iri zina. Ariko muri iyi nkuru, turaza kuvuga gusa ku bibaho muri ibi, uburyo bwo kubyitegura, ndetse niba hari ikintu cyo gutinya.

Wakwitegura ute gupimwa amagufwa?

Inkuru nziza ni uko nta kwitegura gukomeye gukenewe kuri iki kizamini. Ntabwo ukeneye guhindura ibyo urya buri munsi cyangwa ibikorwa byawe.

Ariko, niba ufata imiti iyo ari yo yose, ni ngombwa kubibwira muganga wawe. Ibi ni ingenzi cyane cyane niba ufata imiti iyo ari yo yose irimo bismuth (nka Pepto-Bismol), ikoreshwa mu kuvura ibibazo byo mu gifu. Nanone, niba uherutse gupimwa X-ray irimo ikintu cyitwa barium, bibwira muganga wawe. Ibi bishobora kugira ingaruka nke ku bisubizo by’isuzuma ry’amagufwa.

Mbere y'ikizamini, abakozi bazagusaba gukuramo imitako yose ya zahabu, nk'imikufi, imikufi, impeta, n'indi mitako y'icyuma. Ushobora kandi gusabwa kwambara ikanzu yihariye yo kwa muganga.

Ni iki wakwitega ku munsi w'ikizamini?

Nubwo gupima amagufwa ubwabyo bifata iminota 30 kugeza kuri 60 gusa, bishobora gufata amasaha menshi kugira ngo ugere mu rugo nyuma y’imirimo yose yo mu bitaro irangiye. Bityo rero ugomba kwitegura ibyo kandi ukihangana gato.

Ibi nibyo biba muri iki kizamini:

1. Gutera 'tracer': Ubwa mbere, ingano nto cyane y'ibintu bitera imirasire byitwa 'tracer' iterwa mu mubiri wawe. Ntugahangayikishwe n'ijambo 'radioactive', ibi ntabwo byangiza umubiri wawe. Umutekinisiye atera iyi tracer mu mitsi iri mu kuboko kwawe cyangwa mu kuboko kwawe.

2. Inzira y'agakoresho k'umubiri: Nyuma yo guterwa urushinge, agakoresho k'umubiri kanyura mu maraso yawe kagaterana mu magufwa yawe mu masaha make. Muri make, agakoresho k'umubiri katerana cyane mu bice by'amagufwa, aho byangiritse cyangwa bihinduka kurusha ahandi.

3. Guskana:Hanyuma woherezwa munsi y'imashini isa na kamera nini. Iyi yitwa 'gamma camera'. Mu gihe uryamye neza ku meza, iyi kamera yegera umubiri wawe cyane kandi igafata amashusho buhoro buhoro. Ibi bishobora gufata iminota 60.

Hari abantu bashobora kumva bafite ubwoba bwo gufungana muri iki gihe. Niba ubyumva utyo, ntukabihagarike ahubwo ubwire abakozi baho. Bazagufasha kumva umerewe neza.

Mu bihe bimwe na bimwe, muganga wawe ashobora gufata icyemezo cyo gukora 'isuzuma ry’inshuro eshatu'. Ibi bisaba gufata amafoto y’amagufwa yawe atari rimwe gusa, ahubwo inshuro eshatu. Iya mbere ifatwa nk’aho umutera urushinge, iya kabiri ifatwa nyuma yo guterwa urushinge, naho iya gatatu ifatwa nyuma y’amasaha 3-5.

Ibisubizo kandi ni iki kibaho nyuma y'ibyo?

Nyuma yo gupimwa, uzagirwa inama yo kunywa amazi menshi kuko agakoresho gakeneye gukurwa mu mubiri wawe vuba.

Kubera ko iyi tracer ifite imirasire, muganga wawe ashobora kukubwira gukoresha ubwiherero butandukanye umunsi umwe cyangwa ibiri ugiye mu rugo, nk'uko bimeze mu bitaro. Ibi ni ingenzi cyane cyane niba ufite abana bato mu rugo.

Ibisubizo by'ibizamini bigaragaza ahantu runaka habayeho impinduka mu magufwa.

Ikintu cy'ingenzi hano ni uko nubwo isuzuma ry'amagufwa ryagaragaza impinduka mu magufwa, ntabwo rishobora kwemeza 100% ko biterwa na kanseri. Izi 'hot spots' zishobora guterwa n'izindi ndwara nka rubagimpande, ubwandu, cyangwa kuvunika kwa kera.

Kubwibyo, muganga wawe ashobora kukugira inama yo gukomeza gupimwa (urugero: gupimwa na CT, gupimwa na MRI, cyangwa gupimwa na biopsy) kugira ngo wemeze niba ibyo bisebe byatewe na kanseri.

Ubusanzwe gupima amagufwa nta ngaruka mbi zigaragara bitera. Imirasire irashira burundu mu mubiri mu minsi ibiri.

Ni izihe ngaruka zishobora guterwa no gupimwa amagufwa?

Iki kizamini ubusanzwe ni cyiza. Ariko, kimwe n'ibindi bizamini byose byo kwa muganga, hari ingaruka ntoya. Muganga wawe azahora asuzuma neza ingaruka n'inyungu z'ikizamini mbere yo kukwohereza muri iki kizamini.

• Gutwita: Niba utwite, cyangwa ufite amakenga make ko utwite, ni ngombwa ko ubibwira muganga wawe mbere yo gupimwa. Iki kizamini akenshi ntigikorerwa abagore batwite kuko umuti utera imirasire ushobora kwangiza umwana uri mu nda.
• Konsa: Niba uri umubyeyi wonsa, muganga wawe ashobora kukugira inama yo guhagarika konsa iminsi mike nyuma yo gushyiramo agakoresho ko gupima umwana. Ntugahangayike, muganga wawe azaguha amabwiriza akenewe kuri ibi.
• Aho urushinge rwatewe: Hashobora kubaho ibikomere aho rwatewe urushinge. Ibi ni ibisanzwe. Ni gake cyane, iyo agakoresho k'urushinge kavuye mu mitsi, aho hantu hashobora kubyimba no kubabara. Ariko ibi bizakira vuba mu minsi mike.
• Imirasire: Ingano y'imirasire umubiri wawe ubona muri iki kizamini ni nto cyane. Ariko, hari icyizere cy'uko ibi bishobora kongera gato ibyago byo kurwara kanseri mu gihe kizaza. Niba ufite impungenge cyangwa gushidikanya kuri ibi, vugana na muganga wawe ku mugaragaro.
