Surgery that removes a bone or soft tissue tumour while saving the arm or leg, instead of amputating it.
Pending doctor checkThe tumour is removed with a margin of healthy tissue, and the missing bone is rebuilt with a metal implant (endoprosthesis), bone from a bone bank, or the patient's own bone. Most people with bone cancer today keep their limb. Chemotherapy is often given before and after surgery.
Children and adults with bone cancers such as osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma, soft tissue sarcomas, some non-cancerous but aggressive bone tumours, and cancer that has spread to bone.
Every patient gets their own estimate, in writing, from the hospital. These are the things that move it.
Room types, equipment and running costs differ from one hospital to the next.
A surgeon's fee follows their experience and how complex the operation is.
Keyhole or robotic surgery, and the make of any implant, can change the price.
Other conditions, earlier treatment and the tests you need before treatment all count.
Days in hospital, any time in intensive care and the weeks you spend recovering in India.
Physiotherapy, medicines to take home and follow-up visits are added only if your doctor asks for them.
The estimate is not final until the doctor has examined you in India. If anything changes, we explain it before you agree to it.

Many last many years. Some may need replacing later, especially in children who are still growing.
