Join us this Sarcoma Awareness Month as Dr. Nitish Ranjan Acharya, Consultant - Surgical Oncology, Manipal Hospital Bhubaneswar, shares insights on sarcoma, a rare type of cancer that primarily affects bones and soft tissues. In India, sarcoma is more common among adolescents and young adults, making early awareness and timely treatment crucial. For most sarcoma patients, surgery is the cornerstone of effective treatment. Limb salvage surgery aims to completely remove cancerous tissue and offers the best chance of cure or long-term disease control, while avoiding amputation.
