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.

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.
