Bone Cancer/Bone Tumor Treatment in India 
Bone cancer is considered as a rare cancer that
develops in a bone. This cancer can start in any
bone in the body and mostly long bones are
affected that make up the legs and arms. Many
bone tumors are benign that means they are
non-cancerous and does not spread to any part of
the body. Normal bone tissue is destroyed by this
cancer and can spread to different body parts
(known as metastasis).
As a whole, bone cancer is categorized based on
whether the cancer originated in the bone
(primary) or whether it spread from another
location to the bone (secondary). Secondary bone
cancer, or cancer that has spread to the bone
from another part of the body, is much more
common than primary bone cancer.

Diagnosis of Bone Cancer

• OPD Consultations
• X-ray
• Computerized tomography (CT)
• Bone scan
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
• BiopsyA sample of tissue (Biopsy) from the
• tumor is removed for laboratory testing.
  Testing
• is done to know whether the tissue is
  cancerous
• and, if so, what is the type of cancer.
  Testing may
• also reveal the cancer's grade, which helps
• oncologists to understand how aggressive the
• cancer is.

Types of biopsy procedures used to diagnose bone
cancer include

• Inserting a needle through skin and into a tumor.
  During a needle biopsy, surgical oncologist
  inserts a thin needle through the skin and guides
  it into the tumor. The needle is used to remove
  small pieces of tissue from the tumor.
• Surgery to remove a tissue sample for
  testing.During a surgical biopsy, surgical
  oncologist makes an incision through the skin and
  removes either the entire tumor (excisional
  biopsy) or a portion of the tumor (incision
  biopsy).
• Determining the type of biopsy patients need and
  the particulars of how it should be performed
  requires careful planning by the oncology team.
  Surgical Oncologists perform the biopsy in a way
  that will not interfere with future surgery to
  remove bone cancer.

Treatment Options for Bone Cancer at World Best
Cancer Hospitals in India
The best treatment is based on the type of bone
cancer, the location of the cancer, how
aggressive the cancer is, and whether or not the
cancer has invaded surrounding or distant tissues
(metastasized). There are three main types of
treatment for bone cancer surgery, chemotherapy,
and radiation therapy. These can be used either
individually or combined with each other.
Chemotherapy This treatment makes use of
certain chemicals for destroying cancer cells.
This is usually given through a vein that travels
in the entire body. Radiation therapy is often
combined with chemotherapy for shrinking the
cancer to a manageable size so as to enable a
surgeon to carry out a limb-sparing surgery.

• Surgery A surgery entirely removes the bone
  cancer. There are different types of surgery for
  treating bone cancer such as -
• Surgery for cancer that does not affect the limbs
  The surgical procedure is performed for
  removing bone and some nearby tissue if the bone
  cancer takes place in the bones apart from legs
  and arms. This removed bone is then replaced with
  a part of bone from a different area of the body
  or can also be replaced with the help of special
  metal prosthesis.
• Surgery for removing the cancer while sparing the
  limb The surgical procedure can be performed
  for removing the bone cancer while sparing the
  limb if the bone cancer can be separated from
  other tissue and nerves. The lost bone is then
  replaced with some other bone from a different
  area of the body or can also be replaced with the
  help of a special prosthesis.
• Surgery for removing a limb The surgical
  procedure is required for removing a part or all
  part of a limb when the bone cancer is very large
  and is located on a complicated point on the
  bone.
• Radiation Therapy High-powered beams of energy
  are used in this therapy for destroying cancer
  cells. The high-powered beams of energy are
  targeted at precise points in the body. This
  therapy is meant for those people who are
  suffering from bone cancer that cannot be removed
  with the help of surgery.
