Bone Cancer Treatment in India for Bangladeshi Patients

What is Bone Cancer Treatment?

Bone cancer treatment refers to the medical procedures used to remove or control cancer that forms in the bones. The goal is to stop the cancer from spreading, reduce pain, and improve quality of life.

There are two major types of bone cancer:

  • Primary bone cancer - Starts in the bone itself. Common types include osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and chondrosarcoma.
  • Secondary bone cancer - Begins in another part of the body and spreads to the bones.

Treatment often includes surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. In some advanced cases, a bone marrow transplant may be required if the cancer affects the bone marrow.

Many people believe bone cancer is always fatal. But with early diagnosis and proper treatment, patients often recover and return to normal life.

Why Do People Need Bone Cancer Treatment?

Bone cancer treatment is necessary when abnormal cell growth forms tumours in the bones. These tumours can damage the bone, spread to other parts of the body, and impact daily life.

When Treatment Becomes Urgent

  • Tumour is growing: Early removal or control stops further spread.
  • Severe pain or swelling: A sign that the tumour is pressing on nerves or tissues.
  • Bones become weak: Tumours can make bones brittle and cause fractures.
  • Loss of function: When a tumour affects movement or nearby joints.
  • Cancer spreads: Treatment is needed to protect other organs.

Causes of Bone Cancer

Many people ask, “Why does bone cancer occur?” Doctors say the exact cause isn’t always clear, but certain risk factors may raise the chances of developing it:

  • Genetic changes or inherited conditions
  • Previous radiation therapy to the bones
  • Bone diseases like Paget’s disease
  • Old bone injuries that never healed properly
  • Family history of bone or bone marrow cancer

These risks do not guarantee cancer, but patients with one or more of these factors should monitor symptoms closely.

Symptoms of Bone Cancer

The symptoms of bone cancer depend on where the tumour is located and how fast it grows. These signs often develop gradually and are sometimes mistaken for other conditions. You can read more about how bone cancer symptoms typically present and progress.

Common Symptoms to Watch For

  • Pain in the bone: Usually worse at night or during movement.
  • Swelling or a lump: Near the tumour site, often in the arms, legs, or pelvis.
  • Weak bones: Break easily from minor injuries or falls.
  • Constant fatigue: Feeling tired without reason.
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Recurring fever

Some tumours press on nerves or joints, causing stiffness, numbness, or difficulty moving the limb.

When These Symptoms Lead to Treatment

Doctors may start treatment if:

  • Scans show a mass in the bone.
  • Pain and swelling continue despite medicines.
  • A bone breaks without a strong impact.
  • Blood tests show problems with bone marrow function.
  • A biopsy confirms cancer cells in the bone.

Expert Insights

Dr. Rajeev Reddy and Dr. R Sree Harsha discuss treating bone cancers in children at Apollo Cancer Centre, Hyderabad

Dr. Rajiv Reddy, Consultant in Orthopaedic Oncology and Sarcomas at Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, states that:

“About 90 to 95 per cent of sarcoma patients don’t need an amputation if they present early. Not only can we save the limb through something called limb salvage surgery, but also the child can have a good functioning limb, they can walk, run, and do all activities. This is possible when treatment is well planned, well executed, and done with a lot of precision and care.”

Apollo’s use of customised implants and multidisciplinary care helps Bangladeshi patients get treated without amputation, improving their long-term quality of life.
