Hip Joint Sarcoma Treatment at Top Ichilov Medical Center

Hip, knee, or shoulder joint sarcoma is osteogenic, developing from bone tissue. The disease is quite common, accounting for 60% of all bone cancer cases. The peak incidence occurs around puberty or shortly thereafter, with boys and men being affected more frequently.

The disease is aggressive, metastasizing to nearby soft tissues and the lymphatic system, often affecting the lungs. The tumour does not invade the adjacent bone, as the joint cartilage serves as a natural barrier to the spread of cancer into the joint.

Treatment depends on the type of cancer, the extent of its spread, and the presence of metastases. A combined treatment approach is preferred, which includes:

Surgical intervention. Currently, the tumour is removed along with nearby tissues, and if necessary, the patient undergoes joint endoprosthesis afterward. Surgical removal of the neoplasm positively affects the recovery dynamics.

Chemotherapy. Treatment is conducted using multi-component chemotherapeutic agents that are lethal to sarcoma cells. This method is used both as preoperative and postoperative treatment. The course depends on the cancer cells' response to the treatment.

Diagnosis of Hip Joint Sarcoma at Top Ichilov

The diagnosis is made after a multi-level examination of the patient.

• Examination and consultation with an oncological orthopedic surgeon. During the meeting, the patient discusses symptoms and the onset of the disease, while the specialist visually examines the patient;
• X-ray examination. Images of the affected area provide an accurate picture of the presence of a neoplasm;
• CT of the skeletal system;
• MRI;
• PET-CT, which is a mandatory examination to determine the area of metastasis
