Biospy & Cancer staging

Biospy & Cancer staging

Accurate Diagnosis is the First Step Toward Effective Cancer Treatment

In orthopaedic oncology, early and precise diagnosis is critical. Biopsy and cancer staging are the cornerstones of identifying bone and soft tissue tumors and deciding the right treatment strategy. Dr. Jyoti Prakash follows a scientific, safe, and structured approach to diagnosing musculoskeletal tumors.

A biopsy is a minor procedure where a small tissue sample is taken from the suspected tumor site and examined under a microscope. Once the tumor is confirmed, cancer staging helps determine how far the disease has progressed—crucial for planning surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.

🧪 Types of Biopsies We Perform:

  • Core Needle Biopsy – minimally invasive, high accuracy

  • Incisional Biopsy – for larger tumors requiring detailed study

  • Image-Guided Biopsy – using ultrasound/CT for deep or complex locations

🩺 Cancer Staging Includes:

  • Local tumor extent (size, invasion)

  • Lymph node involvement

  • Spread to other organs (metastasis)

  • Tumor grading (aggressiveness)

👨‍⚕️ Why It Matters:

  • Prevents unnecessary or harmful surgeries
  • Determines whether surgery, chemo, or radiation is needed
  • Aids in choosing limb-saving options in bone cancers
  • Helps track disease response during treatment
