Bone Cancer Treatment

Bone cancer occurs when abnormal cells begin to grow uncontrollably in the bone, destroying normal bone tissue. It can either begin in the bone or spread to the bone from other parts of the body. While bone cancer is relatively rare, most tumors found in the bones are benign (non-cancerous) and do not spread to other parts of the body.

When is Bone Cancer Treatment Needed?

Surgery is usually the first option for treating bone cancer. During surgery, doctors remove the tumor along with some surrounding bone and muscle tissue to ensure the maximum removal of cancerous cells. If the tumor is located in a limb (arm or leg), the goal is to preserve the limb and maintain its function as much as possible.

Benefits of Bone Cancer Treatment

The main goal of surgery is to remove all cancerous tissue. Even small amounts of remaining cancer can potentially lead to new tumors or spread to other parts of the body. To prevent this, surgeons typically remove the tumor along with some healthy surrounding tissue, reducing the likelihood of recurrence.

Diagnostic Process

Several imaging tests are used to detect and locate bone tumors, assess their size, and determine if they have spread to other areas.
The specific tests recommended will depend on your symptoms, but they may include:
  • Bone Scan
  • CT Scan (Computerized Tomography)
  • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
  • X-rays

How is Bone Cancer Treated?

Treatment for anal cancer generally includes surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. The approach depends on various factors, such as the type and stage of cancer, potential side effects, and the patient's general health. This collaborative decision-making process ensures the patient receives the most appropriate treatment for their condition.

  • Limb-Sparing Surgery: In this procedure, the tumor is removed along with part of the surrounding bone, and the lost section is replaced with a metal implant or prosthesis to restore function.
  • Amputation: In severe cases where limb-sparing surgery is not viable, an amputation may be necessary. The limb is removed and replaced with an artificial limb.

Recovery and Post-Op Care

After surgery, recovery may involve some difficulty with mobility. You will be encouraged to move gently and progressively. Nurses will assist you in sitting up and managing any drains or drips from the surgery site. Depending on the type of surgery, recovery times can vary, and some patients may require assistance at home. Physiotherapists will help with mobility exercises and offer guidance for your recovery during the first few weeks.

Success Rate

For bone cancer surgery, the success rate is approximately 81% if detected in the early stages.

Risks of Bone Cancer Surgery

As with any surgery, there are some risks associated with bone cancer treatment, including:

  • Adverse reactions to anesthesia
  • Injury to nearby organs
  • Excessive bleeding
  • Blood clots in the legs
