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:
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.
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.
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:
These risks do not guarantee cancer, but patients with one or more of these factors should monitor symptoms closely.
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.
Some tumours press on nerves or joints, causing stiffness, numbness, or difficulty moving the limb.

The success of bone cancer treatment depends on how early it’s diagnosed, the type of tumour, and the patient’s overall health. With timely care, many patients regain mobility, reduce symptoms, and live longer.
Apollo Hospitals in Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Bangalore, and Kolkata use advanced tools like 3D planning for limb salvage, intraoperative imaging, and custom-made prostheses. These techniques help surgeons operate with better accuracy and reduce long-term complications.
Multidisciplinary teams of oncologists, orthopaedic surgeons, and physiotherapists work together to guide each patient from surgery to full recovery.
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.
