Orthopaedic Tumour and Oncology Care at RNH Hospital

At RNH Hospital, our Orthopaedic Tumor & Oncology Department specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients with benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) tumours affecting the bones, joints, and soft tissues. Our team of expert orthopaedic oncologists, surgeons, and rehabilitation specialists works together to provide comprehensive, compassionate care, helping patients live healthier, pain-free lives.

Orthopaedic Tumors

An orthopaedic tumor is an abnormal growth that develops in the bone or the surrounding soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, or cartilage. These tumors can be:
  • Benign (non-cancerous): Usually slow-growing and non-spreading but may still cause pain, swelling, or fractures.
  • Malignant (cancerous): Aggressive in nature and may spread to other parts of the body, requiring timely diagnosis and specialized treatment.

Common examples include osteosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and soft tissue sarcomas.

Symptoms That May Require Attention

If you experience any of the following symptoms, it’s important to consult an orthopaedic oncologist promptly:

  • Persistent or worsening bone pain
  • Noticeable swelling or a lump near bones or joints
  • Unexplained fractures (bones breaking easily)
  • Restricted movement or stiffness
  • Fatigue, weight loss, or fever without a clear cause

Early diagnosis plays a key role in achieving the best outcomes.

Advanced Diagnosis and Evaluation

At RNH Hospital, we use state-of-the-art imaging and diagnostic tools to accurately identify and assess bone and soft tissue tumours.

Our diagnostic approach includes:
  • Digital X-rays and MRI/CT scans
  • Bone scans and PET-CT
  • Image-guided biopsy for precise tumour analysis
  • Laboratory tests for staging and treatment planning

Every case is evaluated by a multidisciplinary tumour board to ensure the most effective and personalised care plan.

Our Treatment Approach

We believe in comprehensive, patient-centered treatment designed to remove the tumor, preserve limb function, and maintain quality of life.
 Our treatment options include:

  • Limb-salvage surgery: Advanced surgical techniques to remove the tumor while preserving the limb.
  • Reconstructive surgery: Use of prosthetic implants, bone grafts, or custom 3D implants to restore normal appearance and movement.
  • Chemotherapy & radiation therapy: When necessary, provided in collaboration with oncology specialists.
  • Minimally invasive procedures: For selected benign or early-stage conditions.
  • Rehabilitation & physiotherapy: To regain strength, mobility, and confidence after treatment.
