Ewing's sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, chordoma, and soft tissue sarcomas with an objective to maximize the function of each patient with advanced surgical and reconstructive techniques.
Your bone cancer treatment will depend on many factors, including the location, size, type, grade, and stage of the tumour, as well as your age, general health, and other factors.
The type of surgery you receive will vary. For instance, for soft tissue sarcomas, treatment may involve resection of some of the muscles in the arms and legs. For cancer of the bone, procedures may include joint replacement, hip replacement, rodding, or implants. For metastatic cancer to the bone, treatment may involve rodding or rod pixation.
If the cancer is in a location that can’t be removed surgically, our care team is committed to exploring other options. In addition to surgery, you may also receive radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy.
A common treatment for bone cancer is surgery. The goal of surgery may be to remove the tumor and surrounding area of normal bone and/or to relieve symptoms. so the treatment options are following:-
Treatment options
- Soft tissue excisions/resections
- Joint replacement, hip replacement
- Limb salvage surgery
- Amputation (if necessary)
- Bone grafting
- Rodding/rod pixation (i.e., placing metal rods in bones to prevent them from breaking)
- Implants (e.g., metal implants, prosthesis), transplants
- Reconstructive surgery
- Palliative surgery (to relieve symptoms
