Treatments for bone cancer
Your healthcare team will create a treatment plan just for you. The plan is based on your health and specific information about the cancer. What you want is also important when planning treatment. When deciding which treatments to offer for bone cancer, your healthcare team will consider:
- the type of tumour
- the stage of the cancer
- the grade of the cancer
- your age
- your overall health
- your lifestyle and what you prefer or want
A combination of treatments is used to treat bone cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy and sometimes radiation therapy.
