Understanding Sarcoma and Metastatic Bone Disease
Primary bone sarcomas are rare, aggressive cancers originating in the bone. Conversely, metastatic bone cancer occurs when cancer cells from another primary organ (such as the breast, lung, prostate, or kidney) spread to the skeletal system.
Dr. Jyoti Prakash provides compassionate, multidisciplinary care for patients facing these daunting diagnoses. Our goal is not only to treat the cancer but to control severe pain, prevent devastating pathologic fractures, and drastically improve the patient's overall quality of life.
Comprehensive Treatment Strategies
Management of metastatic bone disease is highly palliative and functional. Dr. Prakash works alongside medical oncologists and radiation oncologists to deliver holistic care.
- Prophylactic internal fixation: Surgically reinforcing weakened bones with rods or plates before they break.
- Tumor excision and mega-prosthetic joint replacement for advanced joint destruction.
- Minimally invasive cement augmentation (Kyphoplasty/Vertebroplasty) for painful spinal metastases.
- Targeted local therapies combined with systemic chemotherapy or targeted immunotherapy.
Why Choose Dr. Jyoti Prakash?
Treating bone cancer requires a highly specialized skill set that general orthopaedic surgeons do not possess. Dr. Prakash brings years of dedicated ortho-oncology experience, ensuring that surgical interventions are perfectly timed with radiation and chemotherapy to maximize survival and functional outcomes.
