Best Bone Cancer Clinic in Salem

At Valli Orthopaedics and Sports Hospital, we offer cutting-edge care and innovative surgical, medical, and radiation oncology treatments designed to eradicate the tumour, prevent recurrence, improve survival, and optimise limb function. Our multidisciplinary team approach ensures that every patient receives a customised, comprehensive, and compassionate treatment plan, with support from leading experts in a wide range of specialties. We provide treatment options and suggestions based on various factors, including the type, stage, and severity of your cancer; potential side effects; your preferences; and general health. Treatment for side effects and other symptoms may also be part of your treatment plan, which is an important element of cancer care. Our surgery focuses on removing the tumour together with a margin of healthy bone or tissue around it in order to completely eradicate all cancer cells.

Most Common types of Bone Cancer include:

  • Osteosarcoma
  • Chondrosarcoma
  • Ewing sarcoma

Following are the Common Treatment Options for Bone Cancer:

  • Wide Excision: It eliminates the tumour with a margin of healthy bone or tissue around it to ensure that all cancer cells are removed.
  • Limb Sparing Surgeries: Without removing the entire arm or leg and while protecting adjacent veins and nerves, it removes the tumour from an arm or a leg.
  • Reconstructive Surgery: It uses custom prostheses, such as metal plates, bone grafts, or modular implants, to replace lost bone while strengthening the surrounding bone. Muscle flaps and skin grafts can be used to promote healing and reduce the risk of infection in reconstruction areas.
  • Amputation: It can be performed in cases when the tumour cannot be totally removed with surgery, reconstruction is not possible, or cancer recurs in the same place after limb-sparing surgery. Depending on the size and location of the tumour and the intervention of adjacent veins and muscles, this treatment choice may be the best one.
  • Radiation Therapy: It is most commonly used for bone cancer that cannot be removed surgically. We usually refer patients to some other centres for radiation therapy. It uses high-energy x-rays or other particles to eliminate cancer cells. A radiation therapy regimen typically entails a certain number of procedures carried out over a predetermined time period. Radiation therapy can also be used before surgery to reduce the tumour or after surgery to eradicate any remaining cancer cells.
  • Chemotherapy: Our medical oncologists are experts in administering medication to treat sarcoma. Each type of bone cancer is different and requires a particular approach to treatment, which may involve using two or three different chemotherapy medications. In the case of fast-growing tumours, neoadjuvant chemotherapy may be administered before surgery to assist in reducing the tumour and make it easier to remove. After the patient has recovered from surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy may be given to help eradicate any remaining cancer cells. Some chemotherapy side effects usually go away when treatment is completed, and our doctor will keep an eye on you for potential long-term adverse effects.
