What is cancer resection?

Does amputation cure osteosarcoma?
Historically, amputation was the primary surgical treatment for osteosarcoma of the extremities; however, with advancements in surgical techniques and chemotherapies limb salvage has replaced amputation as the dominant treatment paradigm.
How painful is cancer in the bones?
Bone pain: Pain is the most common sign of bone cancer, and may become more noticeable as the tumor grows. Bone pain can cause a dull or deep ache in a bone or bone region (e.g., back, pelvis, legs, ribs, arms). Early on, the pain may only occur at night, or when you are active.
Does sarcoma require amputation?
In the past, many sarcomas in the arms and legs were treated by removing the limb (amputation). Today, this is rarely needed. Instead, the standard is surgery to remove the tumor without amputation.
Can osteosarcoma be cured without amputation?
The treatment of highly malignant osteosarcoma is still a challenge to medical science. An ideal situation in the treatment of osteosarcoma is when the tumor can be eradicated without an amputation, bone/soft tissue loss with near normal function.
What is the goal of shoulder resection arthroplasty?
The goal of shoulder resection arthroplasty is to restore function to an impaired shoulder, with its required motion range, stability, strength, and smoothness.
How long is the recovery period for thumb joint arthroplasty?
Depending on the type of surgical procedure used, full recovery from a thumb joint arthroplasty operation can take a number of months.
What is recovery time for basal joint arthroplasty?
Full recovery of normal activities may require up to 6 months. Most studies report high patient satisfaction rates and good short- and long-term pain relief after basal joint arthroplasty (1,2).
What type of surgery is arthroplasty?
Arthroplasty is a medical procedure designed to replace or partially replace a joint. Arthroplasty is mostly used to reconstruct the hip, knee, and shoulder joints, as well as the joints in the hands and feet.
