About Bone Cancer Surgery

Bone cancer surgery is a specialized procedure performed by a surgical oncologist to remove malignant tumors from the bones while preserving as much healthy tissue and function as possible. The specific technique, such as limb-salvage surgery, wide excision, or, in severe cases, amputation, is tailored to the tumor's type, location, and stage. The primary goals are complete tumor removal with clear margins, pain relief, and restoration of mobility. This complex surgery often involves a multidisciplinary team and may be combined with reconstructive techniques using bone grafts or prosthetics. It is a critical component in the treatment plan for primary bone cancers like osteosarcoma or chondrosarcoma, aiming for a cure or long-term disease control.
