Targeted approach to treat a rare but serious form of lymphoma affecting the skeletal system.Multimodal treatment plans combining chemotherapy and radiation for effective cancer control.Focus on pain management and preventing pathological fractures in affected bones.Personalized therapy based on precise lymphoma subtype and genetic profiling.Aims for long-term remission and preservation of mobility and quality of life.
Who is this surgery for?
- Confirmed diagnosis of primary bone lymphoma or systemic lymphoma with significant bone involvement.
- Persistent, severe bone pain not relieved by standard analgesics.
- Evidence of an osteolytic (bone-destroying) lesion on X-ray, CT, MRI, or PET-CT scan.
- Risk or presence of a pathological fracture due to bone weakening from lymphoma.
- Neurological symptoms like numbness or weakness due to spinal cord compression from a vertebral lesion.
- Systemic symptoms (B symptoms) such as fever, night sweats, and weight loss associated with the lymphoma.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive diagnostic workup including biopsy for histopathological confirmation and staging scans (PET-CT).
- Multidisciplinary team consultation involving medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and orthopedic surgeons.
- Baseline blood tests, kidney and liver function tests, and cardiac evaluation (ECHO) before chemotherapy.
- Dental check-up and necessary treatment to prevent infections, especially before immunosuppressive therapy.
- Fertility preservation counseling for patients of reproductive age prior to starting treatment.
- Nutritional assessment and counseling to build strength for treatment.
- Discussion of the treatment plan, potential side effects, and obtaining informed consent.
Risks & possible complications
- Chemotherapy side effects: nausea, fatigue, hair loss, increased infection risk, and low blood counts (neutropenia).
- Radiation therapy side effects: skin irritation at the treatment site, localized bone pain flare, and long-term risk of secondary cancers.
- Risk of pathological fracture during or after treatment if the bone is severely weakened.
- Potential for tumor lysis syndrome, a metabolic emergency, after starting chemotherapy.
- Damage to nearby tissues from radiation, depending on the treatment site (e.g., nerve damage).
- Long-term effects on bone health, potentially leading to osteoporosis or avascular necrosis.
- General risks of anesthesia if any surgical procedure (like biopsy or stabilization) is required.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Close monitoring for treatment side effects and management with supportive medications (anti-nausea, growth factors).
- Regular blood tests to monitor blood cell counts and manage chemotherapy-induced cytopenias.
- Pain management strategies, which may include medications and physical therapy for mobility.
- Follow-up imaging (PET-CT) after several cycles of chemotherapy to assess treatment response.
- Gradual return to normal activities as energy levels permit; fatigue may persist for weeks or months.
- Nutritional support to aid healing and maintain strength during recovery.
- Long-term follow-up with the oncologist for surveillance of recurrence and management of late effects.

Sara Roy, a 28-year-old elementary school...
Sara Roy, a 28-year-old elementary school teacher, had always been active and healthy. For months, she dismissed the deep, persistent ache in her right thigh as a pulled muscle from playing soccer with her students. When the pain became severe enough to wake her at night and she noticed a slight swelling, she saw her GP. An X-ray revealed a concerning lesion. Referred to an oncologist, Dr. Evans, a biopsy confirmed primary bone lymphoma. Dr. Evans recommended a course of R-CHOP chemotherapy, explaining it was highly effective for this type of cancer. Sara underwent six cycles, struggling with fatigue, nausea, and hair loss, but supported by her family and a network of fellow teachers who covered her classes. After treatment, a PET scan showed complete remission. The emotional journey was a rollercoaster; initial shock and fear for her future were overwhelming. During treatment, she felt vulnerable and isolated at times. Now, in remission, she feels a profound gratitude and a reshaped perspective, focusing on her health and returning to her classroom with renewed purpose.
