About bone cancer
Primary bone cancers such as osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma are uncommon and tend to affect adolescents and young adults; bones are more often involved by spread from other cancers. Treatment combines chemotherapy with limb-preserving surgery wherever possible.
Signs to watch for
Bone pain that worsens at night or with activity
Swelling or a lump over a bone
Fracture after trivial injury
Limp or restricted movement
Fever and weight loss in some cases
Most of these have other causes too. If one lasts, see a doctor.
Who is at higher risk
Adolescent growth years (osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma)
Prior radiation therapy
Paget disease of bone
Certain inherited syndromes (e.g., Li-Fraumeni, hereditary retinoblastoma)
Having a risk factor doesn’t mean you will get cancer.
How it’s diagnosed
X-ray followed by MRI of the involved bone, a carefully planned biopsy, and staging with CT chest and PET-CT or bone scan establish the diagnosis and extent.
Many of these tests can be arranged by your CION team in Sangareddy.
Treatment options
Your plan depends on the type and stage of the cancer and on your overall health. CION’s tumour board agrees on it with you.

With modern chemotherapy and reconstruction techniques, most primary bone cancers are treated with limb-salvage surgery rather than amputation.
2Is persistent leg pain in a teenager worrying?
Growing pains are common, but pain that is localised to one spot, wakes the child at night, or comes with swelling deserves an X-ray.
3Why is the biopsy planned so carefully?
The biopsy track must be removable at the definitive operation. A poorly placed biopsy can compromise limb-salvage options, so it is done by or with the operating team.
