Breast cancer is among the most common cancers today, affecting countless women across the globe. It is caused by the uncontrolled growth of cells in the breast tissue, leading to tumor formation. Some symptoms of breast cancer may include the presence of a lump, changes in the size or shape of the breast, dimpling of the skin, changes to the nipple, or discharge.

Timely diagnosis is essential for successful treatment of breast cancer. The treatment of breast cancer involves a skilled team of oncologists, breast surgeons, radiologists, and pathologists. Select breast cancer treatment in Dwarka, Delhi from Ayushman Hospital and Health Services, where experienced, qualified cancer specialists will help you with timely diagnosis, treatment planning, and guidance through available options to improve your chances of survival.

What Is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer occurs in the breast tissue when abnormal cells begin to grow and form a lump or mass. The abnormal cells usually start in the ducts or lobules (milk-producing parts of the breast). When left uncontrolled, cancer can invade nearby tissue and spread to other sites, such as the lungs, liver, or bones. Though most cases occur in women over 40 years of age, and more rarely, men can also develop breast cancer.

Methods to Diagnose Breast Cancer

  • Mammogram

 A mammogram is the first stage in breast cancer screening. It helps doctors find lumps early even before a lump is felt. The mammogram helps identify abnormal lumps or calcifications.

  • Breast Ultrasound

Ultrasound creates images of the breast using sound waves. It helps determine if a tumor is solid or whether it is a fluid-filled cyst. An ultrasound is done when a lump is found during an examination or mammogram.

  • Breast MRI

An MRI uses contrast dye and a strong magnet to get detailed pictures of the breast. It is used mainly for very high-risk patients or to determine how far breast cancer has spread after diagnosis.

  • Biopsy

A biopsy takes a piece of breast tissue to check for cancerous cells in a lab. It is the only way to confirm a diagnosis of breast cancer.

  • Clinical Breast Exam (CBE)

A clinical breast exam is an examination of the breasts and underarm area for lumps, thickening, or visible skin changes by a doctor.

  • Genetic Testing

Genetic testing helps identify inherited mutations (such as BRCA1 or BRCA2) that increase the risk of breast cancer.

Treatment Options for Breast Cancer

  • Surgical Intervention 

Surgery is often the first step of treatment. Lumpectomy (removal of the tumor) or mastectomy (removal of the whole breast) are available options. Surgery will remove all of the cancerous tissue and lower the chance of recurrence. 

  • Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation beams to destroy any cells that remain after surgery. It reduces the chance of the cancer returning. It is commonly used as part of breast-conserving treatment.

  • Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is the use of strong medications that kill cancer cells that grow and divide quickly. It may be used to shrink a tumor before surgery or to reduce the risk of recurrence after surgery, particularly for aggressive or metastatic cancers.

  • Hormone Therapy

Hormone therapy is primarily effective in hormone receptor-positive breast cancers. It works by blocking or reducing the effects of estrogen and progesterone, two hormones that feed cancer growth.

  • Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapy uses drugs that target specific proteins, such as HER2, that drive the growth of the cancer. Targeted therapy is a more precise treatment than chemotherapy and is likely to result in fewer side effects and favorable outcomes.

  • Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy uses medications that enhance the immune system’s ability to fight cancer. These drugs help immune cells recognise breast cancer cells, particularly for patients with triple-negative breast cancer, who have limited standard treatment options.

Orthopaedic oncology is a subspecialty of medicine specialising in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of both benign and malignant bone and soft tissue tumors. This field combines expertise from orthopaedics, which focuses on the musculoskeletal system, and oncology, which focuses on cancer. These tumors can limit mobility, limb usage, and quality of life; therefore, early diagnosis and expert treatment can significantly reduce the severity and impact of each case.

From Ayushman Hospital and Health Services, get expert orthopaedic oncology treatment in Dwarka, Delhi. Our hospital uses advanced techniques such as limb-salvage surgery, advanced reconstruction, targeted therapy, and radiation techniques with state-of-the-art facilities and vast experience to offer rehabilitation, psychological counselling, and nutritional support for patients.

Types of Orthopaedic Cancers

  • Osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone cancer, primarily occurring in adolescents and young adults. Usually developing in long bones, osteosarcoma is treated with chemotherapy, surgery, and, in some cases, radiation therapy.

  • Chondrosarcoma

Chondrosarcoma arises from cartilage cells and can affect people of all ages, but is most often observed in people over 40. Chondrosarcoma can occur in the pelvis, ribs, or shoulder. Chondrosarcoma is relatively resistant to chemotherapy and radiation, making surgery with reconstructive options the best treatment plan.

  • Ewing Sarcoma

Ewing sarcoma is an aggressive type of tumor occurring in children and adolescents that may appear in bone or soft tissue. Ewing sarcoma metastasises rapidly, making prompt diagnosis important, and treatment generally includes combination chemotherapy, surgery, and possible radiation therapy.

  • Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Soft tissue sarcomas usually develop from cells in fat, nerves, muscles, or connective tissue, including liposarcoma and synovial sarcoma. For treatment, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation can be used alone or in combination.

How Is Diagnosis Done in Orthopaedic Oncology?

  • X-rays: X-rays are usually the first imaging modality used to evaluate an abnormal bone lesion, mass, or structural change due to a tumor.
  • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): MRI provides excellent detail about soft tissue, how the mass or lesion may involve bone, and adds information for surgical planning.
  • CT Scan: A CT scan is essential when assessing the extent of a tumor, any bone destruction, and whether there are metastases. CT scans may also be utilised with 3D reconstruction.
  • Biopsy: Biopsy is the gold standard for diagnostic confirmation and is performed with imaging guidance to ensure precision and safety.
  • Blood Tests: Blood tests can identify the presence of tumor markers or other evidence of systemic involvement that might support the diagnosis and management.

Treatments Offered by Orthopaedic Oncologists

  • Surgery (Limb-Salvage & Reconstruction)

Surgery can excise bone or soft tissue tumors and maintain limb functionality. Surgeons use advanced techniques, such as limb-salvage, 3D-printed implants, or reconstructive procedures to restore mobility. When limb preservation is not possible, surgery may include amputation.

  • Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy uses medicines to kill cancer cells. It can reduce tumor size before surgery or prevent cancer from recurring after surgery.

  • Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells. It is used if surgery is not an option or after surgery to eliminate remaining cancer cells. Radiation has improved over the years, and many advanced types are available.

  • Targeted Therapy & Immunotherapy

Targeted therapy targets changes in the tumor, while immunotherapy helps the body’s immune system fight cancer. These are newer treatments and can be used when sarcomas are resistant to traditional therapies.

  • Supportive & Palliative Care

Supportive care helps manage pain, fatigue, and stress during treatments and recovery. It includes physiotherapy, mental health counselling, nutrition, and other lifestyle changes. Palliative care helps maintain dignity, comfort, and quality of life during cancer treatment.
