Orthopedic Oncology Services at Dr. Lal’s Hospital & Research Centre
At Dr. Lal’s Hospital & Research Centre, we understand the profound impact that orthopedic cancers can have on individuals and their loved ones. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing comprehensive orthopedic oncology services, offering advanced diagnostics, innovative treatments, and compassionate care to patients facing these challenging conditions.
Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities
At Dr. Lal’s Hospital & Research Centre, Advanced diagnostic capabilities in orthopedic oncology have significantly evolved over the years, enabling more precise and effective diagnosis of bone and soft tissue tumors. Some of these advanced diagnostic tools and techniques include:
Advanced Imaging Modalities: High-resolution imaging techniques such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and PET-CT fusion imaging provide detailed anatomical and functional information about tumors. These modalities help in accurate localization, characterization, and staging of musculoskeletal tumors.
Functional Imaging: Functional imaging techniques like dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) provide insights into tumor vascularity, perfusion, and cellularity, aiding in tumor characterization and treatment planning.
Image-Guided Biopsy: Image-guided percutaneous biopsy techniques, including CT-guided, MRI-guided, and ultrasound-guided biopsies, allow for precise sampling of suspicious lesions while minimizing the risk of complications. These biopsies provide histopathological confirmation of the tumor type, which is crucial for treatment planning.
Molecular Imaging: Molecular imaging techniques, such as PET imaging with specific radiotracers targeting metabolic pathways or cell surface receptors, can provide information about tumor biology, including proliferation, apoptosis, and metastatic potential. This helps in personalized treatment selection and monitoring response to therapy.
Precision Treatment Options
At Dr. Lal’s Hospital & Research Centre ,Precision treatment in orthopedic oncology involves tailoring therapies to the specific characteristics of an individual’s tumor. Here are some key precision treatment options:
Surgery: Precision surgery involves removing the tumor with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Techniques such as limb-sparing surgery or minimally invasive procedures are used whenever possible to preserve function and quality of life.
Radiation Therapy: Advanced radiation therapy techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), or proton therapy can precisely target the tumor while sparing nearby healthy tissue. This reduces side effects and improves outcomes.
Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy drugs can be selected based on the specific type of cancer and its genetic characteristics. Targeted therapies, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors or monoclonal antibodies, may be used to block specific pathways involved in tumor growth.
Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy drugs can boost the body’s immune response against cancer cells. Checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell therapy, or cancer vaccines may be used to target orthopedic tumors.
