Three types of rare bone cancer treated successfully at Graphic Era Hospital
Dehradun, Feb 16
Specialists at Graphic Era Hospital have successfully treated rare three types of bone cancer. These cases of cancer have been treated within the past three days.
Three patients aged 13, 32 and 46 respectively were diagnosed with different types of bone cancer at Graphic Era Hospital. The 13 year old boy was suffering from Osteosarcoma, the 46 year old female has Chomdrocarcoma and the 32 year old man had Ewing’s Sarcoma. Graphic Era Hospital’s team of specialists successfully treated the patients with the help of surgical techniques, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The treatment was done by a team of doctors under the guidance of Orthopaedic Oncologist Dr. Narendra Singh Butola.
Dr. Narendra Singh Butola told that different techniques were used based on the patient’s condition and complexity of the cases. The 13-year-old boy had osteosarcoma in his femur bone, which was treated using the limb salvage technique to preserve his ability to walk. The 46-year-old woman had chondrosarcoma in her proximal humerus, where the tumor was surgically removed and the affected area was reconstructed. The 32-year-old man with Ewing’s sarcoma also had cancer in his proximal humerus. This cancer has high risk of spreading rapidly and recurring after being treated. In this case, doctors used a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery to remove the tumor. He further added that regular follow-ups are being conducted post-treatment and all three patients are recovering rapidly.
