Conditions Treated by Dr. Aanchal Bhatia

01

Sarcoma Treatment
Malignant tumours arising in bone or soft tissue, including osteosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and soft tissue sarcomas.

02

Bone Cancer Treatment
Cancers that originate in bone (primary) or spread to bone from another site (metastatic), often causing pain, swelling, or pathological fractures.

03

Limb Salvage Surgery
A surgical approach for bone and soft tissue tumours of the limbs, where the affected segment is removed while preserving the limb.

04

Soft Tissue Tumour Surgery
Abnormal growths in muscles, fat, nerves, or connective tissue, ranging from benign lipomas to malignant sarcomas.

05

Benign, Malignant, and Metastatic Bone Tumour Care
Non-cancerous bone tumours (giant cell tumour, enchondroma), cancerous (osteosarcoma), or secondary deposits from cancers elsewhere in the body.

06

Bone Cyst Treatment
Diagnosis and treatment of bone cysts, including simple bone cysts and aneurysmal bone cysts, to prevent fractures, relieve symptoms, and preserve bone strength and function.

How does Dr. Aanchal Bhatia approach each case surgically? Let’s dive into the procedures and the decisions behind them.

Advanced Orthopedic Oncology Treatments

Limb Salvage Surgery

Removes the tumour completely while keeping the limb functional. The bone or joint is rebuilt using a prosthesis or reconstructed bone, performed across femur, tibia, and other long bone sites.

Prosthetic Replacement / Endoprosthetic Reconstruction

The affected joint or bone segment is replaced with a custom prosthesis after tumour resection, restoring mobility. Commonly used for tumours around the knee or hip.

Biological Reconstruction Techniques

Includes extracorporeal radiation therapy (ECRT), where the excised bone is irradiated and re-implanted, and cryotherapy, a limb-salvage technique that uses extreme cold to treat the affected bone segment before reconstruction. Dr. Aanchal Bhatia has published research on ECRT in the Journal of Orthopaedic Science (2026).

Bone Tumour Biopsies

The critical first step in confirming a diagnosis. Both percutaneous and open biopsies are performed, with precise biopsy tract placement to avoid compromising future surgical options.

Cryotherapy

Treatment of tumour bone with liquid nitrogen and its reimplantation.

Curettage and Bone Grafting

Intralesional curettage followed by bone grafting or cement filling for contained benign tumours and low-grade lesions.

Soft Tissue Tumour Excision

Surgical removal of soft tissue masses with excision extent guided by tumour type and margins required for oncological safety.

Rotationplasty and Amputation

When limb salvage is not feasible, rotationplasty (which preserves knee function using the ankle joint) or amputation is performed.

What happens from the moment you walk into a consultation with Dr. Aanchal Bhatia? Let’s discover how she evaluates and plans care for each patient.

Diagnostic Approach for Bone Tumors



1. Clinical History and Physical Examination

Dr. Aanchal Bhatia, a noted orthopedic oncologist in Bangalore, begins with a thorough review of symptoms, pain location, trauma history, age, and any prior cancers.



2. Imaging Review

Plain X-rays, MRI for soft tissue detail, CT for bone morphology and pulmonary metastases, and PET scans for systemic staging in suspected malignancies.



3. Biopsy Planning

Biopsy tract is precisely placed so it can be excised en bloc with the tumour during surgery, avoiding any compromise to future surgical options.



4. Multidisciplinary Input

For confirmed malignancies, Dr. Bhatia finalises treatment plans alongside medical oncologists and radiation oncologists, covering chemotherapy sequencing, radiation, and surgical timing.



5. Histopathology Correlation

Final treatment is guided by pathology, with close coordination with musculoskeletal pathologists for accurate tumour classification and grading.
