Ortho Oncology Services - Comprehensive Care for Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors
Overview
At Osteon Specialty Orthopedic Clinic and Physiotherapy Center, we provide specialized ortho oncology services dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of bone and soft tissue tumors. Our multidisciplinary team of orthopedic surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and other specialists collaborates to deliver comprehensive care tailored to each patient's unique needs.
What is Ortho Oncology?
Ortho oncology, also known as musculoskeletal oncology, focuses on the management of tumors affecting the bones and soft tissues of the musculoskeletal system. These tumors can be benign or malignant and may arise from the bones, cartilage, muscles, or connective tissues.
Conditions Treated
We offer expertise in diagnosing and treating various ortho oncology conditions, including:
- Primary Bone Tumors: Such as osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing's sarcoma.
- Soft Tissue Sarcomas: Including liposarcoma, synovial sarcoma, and malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
- Metastatic Bone Disease: Cancer that has spread (metastasized) to the bones from other primary sites.
- Bone Metastases: Secondary tumors originating from primary cancers elsewhere in the body.
- Benign Bone Tumors: Such as osteochondroma, enchondroma, and giant cell tumor of bone.
Diagnostic Approach
Our ortho oncology specialists utilize advanced imaging techniques, including MRI, CT scans, and PET scans, to accurately diagnose and stage tumors. Additionally, we may perform biopsy procedures to obtain tissue samples for precise histopathological analysis.
Treatment Modalities
We offer a range of treatment options tailored to each patient's condition and preferences, including:
- Surgical Resection: Removal of the tumor while preserving surrounding healthy tissue, with options for limb-sparing techniques.
- Chemotherapy and Targeted Therapy: Systemic treatments to shrink tumors, kill cancer cells, or prevent recurrence.
- Radiation Therapy: High-energy beams to destroy cancer cells and reduce tumor size, often used in conjunction with surgery or as palliative care.
- Reconstructive Surgery: Restoring form and function following tumor resection, with options for prosthetic implants, bone grafts, or tissue flaps.
- Clinical Trials: Access to innovative therapies and investigational treatments through participation in research studies.
Rehabilitation and Support
Our comprehensive approach extends beyond treatment to encompass rehabilitation, supportive care, and survivorship programs. We are dedicated to helping patients regain function, manage side effects, and achieve the best possible quality of life throughout their cancer journey.
