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.

Key Highlights

Who is this surgery for?

Diagnosis of a primary bone cancer (e.g., osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, chondrosarcoma).
Localized bone tumor that has not widely metastasized.
Persistent, severe bone pain unresponsive to other treatments.
Pathological fracture or high risk of fracture due to tumor weakening the bone.
To obtain a tissue sample (biopsy) for definitive diagnosis when other methods are inconclusive.
As a curative intent procedure following neoadjuvant (pre-surgery) chemotherapy.

How to prepare

Comprehensive diagnostic imaging (MRI, CT, PET scan) to map the tumor precisely.
Pre-operative biopsy to confirm cancer type and grade.
Medical optimization: managing other health conditions like diabetes or heart issues.
Pre-operative chemotherapy or radiation therapy if part of the treatment plan.
Nutritional assessment and counseling to support healing.
Pre-operative physiotherapy to strengthen surrounding muscles.
Detailed discussion with the surgical and anesthesia team about the procedure and risks.

Damage to nearby nerves, blood vessels, or muscles.
Incomplete tumor removal (positive margins) requiring further treatment.
Failure of bone graft or prosthetic implant (loosening, infection).
Persistent pain, stiffness, or reduced range of motion in the affected limb.
Limb-length discrepancy if growth plates are affected in children.
Risk of recurrence of cancer in the same area.
Complications from anesthesia.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial hospital stay for pain management, wound care, and monitoring for complications.
Use of assistive devices (crutches, walker) and strict weight-bearing restrictions as advised.
Early mobilization and a structured physiotherapy program to restore strength and mobility.
Regular follow-up visits for wound checks and stitch/staples removal.
Continued imaging (X-rays, scans) to monitor healing and check for recurrence.
Possible adjuvant (post-operative) chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Nutritional support with a protein-rich diet to aid bone and tissue healing.
Psychological support and counseling to adapt to physical changes.

Typical hospital stay: 5-14 days

PATIENT REVIEW

Neha Khan, a 28-year-old primary school...

Neha Khan, a 28-year-old primary school teacher, was an avid runner training for her first marathon. For months, she dismissed a persistent, deep ache in her right thigh as a sports injury. When the pain became severe enough to wake her at night and she felt a small, hard lump, she sought help. An X-ray revealed a concerning lesion, and a subsequent biopsy confirmed osteosarcoma. Her surgical oncologist, Dr. Mehta, recommended a limb-salvage surgery to remove the tumor and reconstruct her femur with a metal implant, explaining it offered the best chance to preserve her leg and mobility. The 7-hour surgery was successful in achieving clear margins. Neha's recovery was grueling; she spent weeks on crutches and months in physical therapy, grieving the loss of her athletic identity and fearing recurrence. However, a year later, with no signs of cancer, she walks without a limp and has started swimming and cycling. Her emotional journey moved from shock and fear of amputation to profound gratitude for her preserved limb, though she now carries a cautious appreciation for her health, channeling her energy into teaching and patient advocacy.
