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.

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.”
