sorry not able to open the attached reports even tried after many times. kindly send it on e mail or whatsapp to review the histopathlogy of tumor with grade and eisk assessment.
MRI shaft of femur and chest CT Scan with all blood tests. thanks
It is a treatable cancer, if it has not spread to the other parts of the body. The treatment is to start chemotherapy as soon as possible. She will have to have surgery after 3 cycles of chemotherapy. The decision regarding surgery is the most difficult thing for the family as it may be amputation of the leg but is the most important part of management of these patients as saving life is more important then saving the leg. Surgery will be followed by another 3 cycles of chemotherapy. It is a curable cancer if managed properly and promptly.
thanks for consult,
this young lady needs further CT scan chest, LDH and LFTs (ALP) for
metastatic w/up if normal then surgical (orthopedic) consultation for wide
excision, followed by chemotherapy. radiotherapy considered if metastatic
or unresectable disease.
