Best Doctors for Bone Cancer Treatment in Hyderabad

Bone cancer includes various types of cancers affecting the bone. If the bone cancer originates in the bone region, it is a primary bone cancer, if they develop in other parts of the body and spread to the bones, they are termed as bony metastases. Primary bone cancer encompasses Ewing sarcoma, osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, chordoma, fibrosarcoma, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, and giant cell tumor. The symptoms of bone cancer include bone pain that becomes more persistent, fever, fatigue, unexplained swelling around the affected area of the bone, a lump in the affected region that is hard or soft to touch and difficulty in moving around (if swelling is near a joint). To confirm the presence of a bone cancer, diagnostic tests such as X- rays, MRI and CT scans are conducted. Bone cancer is managed using various surgical options like limb sparing surgery or grafting, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
