Bone Cancer Treatment

In Karol Bagh, Delhi

Bone cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably within a bone, either originating there or spreading from another part of the body. Primary bone cancer is relatively rare and can affect people of any age, though certain types are more common in children and young adults.

Symptoms

Persistent bone pain that worsens over time, swelling near the affected area, and reduced mobility are common symptoms. Some patients experience unexplained fractures or a noticeable lump.

Causes

The exact cause is often unknown, though risk factors include prior radiation therapy, certain genetic conditions, and pre-existing bone disorders. Rapid bone growth during adolescence may also play a role in some cases.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests such as X-ray, MRI, or CT scan, along with a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and determine the specific type of bone cancer.

Treatment

Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, often used in combination depending on the type and location of the cancer. M|O|C Cancer Care Center in Karol Bagh, Delhi, offers specialised bone cancer care with a focus on preserving function and quality of life.
