Introduction
Commonly used medications for injection therapy of hemangiomas include Pingyangmycin injection, Polidocanol injection, Triamcinolone acetonide injection, Bleomycin injection, and Sodium Morrhuate injection, which should be administered by a qualified physician. If a hemangioma rapidly enlarges or develops ulceration and bleeding, prompt medical attention is recommended. Pingyangmycin injection: inhibits the proliferation of hemangioma endothelial cells.
Vascular tumor injection therapy commonly uses medications such as Pingyangmycin Hydrochloride for Injection, Polidocanol, Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection, Bleomycin Hydrochloride for Injection, and Sodium Morrhuate Injection. These injections must be administered by qualified medical professionals. If a vascular tumor rapidly enlarges or develops ulceration and bleeding, prompt medical attention is recommended.
1. **Pingyangmycin Hydrochloride for Injection**: This agent inhibits the proliferation of endothelial cells within the vascular tumor, promoting shrinkage and regression of the lesion. It is suitable for various types of vascular tumors, particularly effective for small to medium-sized superficial tumors, and can effectively control disease progression.
2. **Polidocanol**: A sclerosing agent that, upon injection, damages the vascular endothelial cells within the tumor, inducing fibrosis and vessel occlusion, leading to gradual reduction in tumor size. It is commonly used to treat both superficial and internal organ vascular tumors.
3. **Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection**: A glucocorticoid that suppresses vascular tumor growth, reduces local inflammatory reactions, and promotes tumor regression. It is particularly suitable for infantile strawberry hemangiomas and helps slow down the progression of the lesion.
4. **Bleomycin Hydrochloride for Injection**: This drug inhibits DNA synthesis in vascular tumor cells, preventing cell proliferation and causing necrosis and absorption of the tumor tissue. It is indicated for larger or deeper vascular tumors, with strict control required over the injected dosage.
5. **Sodium Morrhuate Injection**: As a sclerosing agent, it induces degeneration and fibrosis of the blood vessel walls within the vascular tumor, resulting in lumen occlusion and achieving therapeutic effect. It is frequently used in treating superficial venous malformation-type vascular tumors.
In daily life, it is important to protect the area affected by the vascular tumor, avoiding friction or trauma that may cause ulceration. Keep the local skin clean and dry, attend regular follow-up visits as directed by the physician to monitor changes in the tumor, and maintain a light diet to support overall recovery.
