Orthopedic Oncology

At DHEE Institute for Trauma & Orthopedics (DITO), we understand the unique challenges that individuals face when they suffer from bone and soft tissue tumours. Our dedicated team of orthopedic oncologists specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal cancers, providing compassionate and comprehensive care to patients of all ages.

At DITO, we recognize that orthopedic oncology requires a multidisciplinary approach involving close collaboration between orthopedic surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists. Our team is highly experienced in managing complex cases and utilizes the latest advancements in technology and treatment modalities to provide the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Our Approach:

Multidisciplinary Team: Our orthopedic oncology team consists of highly skilled and specialized surgeons who work collaboratively with other medical professionals to provide comprehensive care. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that patients receive an accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing support throughout their journey.

Expert Diagnosis: We utilize advanced diagnostic techniques, including imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and PET scans, along with biopsy procedures, to accurately diagnose musculoskeletal tumours. Our team of expert pathologists analyse tissue samples to determine the nature of the tumour and its specific characteristics, enabling us to develop a tailored treatment plan.

Personalized & Customised Treatment Plans: Every patient is unique, and we believe in providing personalized treatment plans that address their specific needs and goals. Our orthopedic oncologists consider various factors, including the type, location, and stage of the tumour, as well as the patient’s overall health and preferences, to develop a comprehensive treatment strategy.

Advanced Treatment Options: We offer a wide range of advanced treatment options for orthopedic tumors, including:

Limb-Sparing Surgery: Whenever possible, our surgeons strive to preserve the limb while removing the entire tumour. This approach involves the meticulous removal of the tumour and the surrounding affected tissue, followed by reconstructive techniques to restore function and aesthetics.

Joint Reconstruction: In cases where tumours affect the joints, we specialize in joint reconstruction procedures to restore joint function and mobility, allowing patients to regain their quality of life.

Musculoskeletal Tumor Resection: In situations where complete removal of the tumor is necessary, our surgeons are skilled in performing extensive tumour resections to eradicate the cancerous tissue while preserving surrounding healthy structures.

Prosthetic Reconstruction: For cases that require removal of a significant portion of bone or joint, we utilize advanced prosthetic implants or custom-made prostheses to restore function and mobility.

Radiation Therapy: Our collaboration with radiation oncologists allows us to provide targeted radiation therapy to treat tumours, either before or after surgical intervention, to maximize the chances of complete tumour eradication and minimize the risk of recurrence.

Chemotherapy: When appropriate, we work closely with medical oncologists to incorporate chemotherapy into the treatment plan to address systemic effects of the cancer or to shrink tumours prior to surgery.

Palliative Care: In cases where curative treatment is not possible, we provide palliative care to alleviate pain and improve the patient’s quality of life. Our focus is on compassionate support and ensuring the best possible comfort for the patient.

Rehabilitation and Support: We understand that the journey of orthopedic oncology extends beyond surgery and treatment. Our team includes skilled rehabilitation specialists who provide comprehensive rehabilitation services to optimize recovery and restore functionality. We also offer emotional and psychological support to patients and their families throughout the treatment process.
