Limb-sparing surgical resection
Wide local excision or limb-sparing surgery to remove the malignant bone tumor while preserving maximum function of the upper limb. Reconstruction may involve bone grafting or prosthetic implants depending on the extent of resection.
Targeted drug therapy with dose adjustment
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
Adjuvant chemotherapy
Systemic chemotherapy administered before or after surgery to eliminate micrometastatic disease and reduce recurrence risk. Regimens typically include multiple agents based on tumor histology.
Additional treatment options
Radiation therapy
Targeted radiation treatment for tumors that are unresectable or as adjuvant therapy following incomplete resection. May be combined with other modalities for optimal tumor control.
procedurePost-surgical rehabilitation
Comprehensive physical therapy program to restore range of motion, strength, and functional use of the affected limb. Includes occupational therapy for activities of daily living adaptation.
