The treatment options for Bone cancer are based on the type of cancer, the stage of the cancer and overall health. Most patients may require treatment involving a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and /or chemotherapy and Rasayana Therapy.

Surgery

Surgery may be the first therapeutic procedure undertaken or it may be preceded by chemotherapy in an effort to reduce the size of the growth.

Types of surgery used to treat Bone cancer include :

1. Surgery to remove the cancer but spare the limb – If a Bone cancer can be separated from nerves and other tissue the surgeon may be able to remove the Bone cancer and spare the limb. The principles of limb – sparing sarcoma surgery are now well established.
2. Surgery for cancer that does not affect the limbs- If Bone cancer occurs in bones other than those of the arms and legs, surgeons may remove the bone and some surrounding tissue. Unfortunately, many bones arise near joints which may need to be excised and replaced by artificial ones.
3. Surgery to remove a limb – Most of the time bones may require surgery to remove all or part of a limb (amputation) and be replaced by artificial limb (prosthesis).

Chemotherapy

1. Chemotherapy can be used to treat Bone cancers. Various regimens are available according to types of bone s. VIDE-Regimen (Vincristine, Ifosfamide, Doxorubicin, Etoposide) can be used for Ewing’s sarcoma. Cisplatin, doxorubicin, methotreaxate are commonly used to treat osteosarcoma and spindle cell sarcomas.
