Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 7: Senior Oncologist of Fortis Hospital Dr. Rajat Gupta told that Bone Cancer can be cured without amputation with the current surgical techniques.
While sharing his experience Dr. Gupta said, his first Patient Krishan Lal, 62y male from Jammu, came to with a large swelling in the shoulder since 7-8 months. He had undergone multiple surgeries elsewhere and was advised amputation as the only treatment to get rid of the cancerous bone at multiple centres elsewhere in Punjab and Jammu. He said since, bone cancer is a rare disease and hence, there is lack of awareness about it not only in the public but also the medical professionals and hence, amputation is the most common procedure advised to these patients, despite the fact that most of these can be cured without amputation with the current surgical techniques.
Dr. Gupta that Another patient Babu Singh , 57 years male from Udhampur, came with large swelling in the arm since last 1 year or so. Upon investigation, he was found to have Chondrosarcoma of arm bone. It is another kind of bone cancer. He underwent limb saving surgery in Sep 2018 at Fortis Hospital, Mohali and cancerous bone was replaced with artificial implant. With more than one year post surgery, patient is fine and back to his activities of daily routine. |
