Diagnostic Services
We utilise state-of-the-art imaging technologies, including: -
X-rays
MRI
CT scans
PET-CT Scans
to provide accurate and timely diagnoses. These advanced techniques allow our specialists to visualise tumours and assess their:-
Size
Location
Impact on surrounding tissues
To confirm diagnoses and guide treatment decisions, we perform various biopsy procedures, including: -
Needle biopsies
Surgical biopsies
These minimally invasive techniques ensure accurate sampling of tumour tissue while minimising patient discomfort.
Treatment Options
Our surgical options include tumour resection, limb-sparing surgery, and, when necessary, amputation. Our orthopaedic oncologists employ advanced techniques to remove tumours while preserving as much function and mobility as possible.
We offer tailored chemotherapy regimens and radiotherapy options to effectively treat malignant tumours. Our medical oncologists work closely with patients to determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on the specific tumour type and stage.
Recognising the holistic needs of our patients, we provide comprehensive supportive care, including pain management, physical therapy, and rehabilitation services. Our goal is to support recovery and enhance quality of life during and after treatment.
Prevention
Musculoskeletal tumours are rarely prevented since risk factors cannot be controlled. Many tumours are caused by uncontrolled, complicated actions at the molecular and cellular levels. If you have a higher risk of developing these tumours, regular monitoring for changes can lead to earlier detection.
At our hospital, we are dedicated to delivering compassionate, high-quality care for patients with musculoskeletal tumours. Our commitment extends beyond treatment, as we strive to support our patients and their families throughout the entire care journey. We believe in empowering our patients with knowledge and support, ensuring they receive the best possible outcomes.
