Treatment

Usually the treatment is surgery. Chemotherapy, immunotherapy and radiotherapy make a decisive contribution to improving treatment and survival. Each tumor has a specific treatment protocol which is followed by specialized doctors and varies from tumor to tumor but also depending on the type of tumor.

Small details, even from the diagnosis and how to biopsy can be decisive for the patient's life. In terms of surgical treatment, prostheses (even expandable pediatric oncological ones) or grafts are now available to replace the parts of bone that need to be removed.

Limb rescue surgery — it is the surgery that prevents amputation — with its new technology, navigation and digital tumor assessment, offers excellent results, in accordance with international evaluation criteria and concerns not only the survival of the patient but also the functionality of the operated limb.
