Bone Cancer
Bone cancer is a rare type of cancer that occurs when cells in the bone start to grow out of control. It can affect any bone in the body and can be either primary, meaning it starts in the bone, or secondary, meaning it starts in another part of the body and spreads to the bone. Symptoms of bone cancer include persistent pain, swelling, and tenderness around the affected area.
Common Treatment Methods
Bone cancer is a rare type of cancer that affects the cells of the bone. Common treatment options for bone cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapy. Surgery is typically the first line of treatment and may involve removing the affected bone or surrounding tissue. Chemotherapy is a drug-based treatment that uses powerful medications to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to shrink tumors and kill off cancer cells. Targeted therapies involve using drugs to specifically target certain cancer cells.
KKR Hospital Approach
At KKR Hospital, our experienced team of oncologists and surgeons are dedicated to providing the best care for patients with bone cancer. We offer a comprehensive range of treatments, including neoadjuvant therapy. Neoadjuvant therapy involves administering drugs or radiation before the main treatment to shrink the tumor and make it easier to remove surgically. This may also reduce the risk of the cancer spreading to other parts of the body. Our team of experts strives to provide the most effective and least invasive treatment possible for our patients.
