What does Dr. Aanchal Bhatia’s clinical expertise cover? Let’s dive in.

Area of Specialization

Being an orthopaedic oncologist in Bangalore, Dr. Aanchal Bhatia’s clinical focus sits entirely within musculoskeletal oncology. Not as a sideline, not as a proportion of a broader orthopaedic practice, but as the whole of it. Here is what that covers:

Bone Sarcoma Care

Primary bone cancers, including osteosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, and chondrosarcoma, are managed from staging workup through surgical resection and post-operative surveillance.

Soft Tissue Tumour Surgery

Benign and malignant soft tissue masses in muscle, fat, nerves, and connective tissue are managed with wide local excision and oncologically safe margins.

Limb Salvage Surgery

Removal of bone or soft tissue tumours with the limb preserved, using prosthetic replacements, bone grafts, or biological reconstruction, depending on the defect.

Benign Bone Tumour Care

Giant cell tumours, enchondromas, bone cysts, fibrous dysplasia, and other non-malignant lesions that still require specialist evaluation and often surgical treatment.

Metastatic Bone Disease

Secondary bone tumours arising from cancers elsewhere in the body are managed with stabilisation, surgical intervention, or coordinated systemic treatment in collaboration with oncology teams.

Biological Reconstruction

Advanced techniques, including extracorporeal radiation therapy (ECRT) and vascularised fibula grafting for complex intercalary defects after tumour resection.

Orthopaedic Oncology Biopsies

Planned and performed with careful attention to tract placement, so the biopsy does not compromise the surgical options that follow.

Your diagnosis deserves a specialist who handles exactly this, every day. Reach out to an expert and get a clear picture of your options.

How does Dr. Aanchal Bhatia approach a bone cancer case? Let’s discover the principles behind every clinical decision.

Dr. Aanchal Bhatia's Approach to Advanced Patient Care

1. Diagnosis Before Anything Else

Clinical history, examination, imaging and biopsy, all planned with the surgical consequences in mind from the start.

2. Limb Salvage as the Default

The plan starts from the assumption that the function will be preserved. Amputation is not offered as an easy solution.

3. Multidisciplinary by Design

For malignant cases, chemotherapy timing, radiation sequencing and surgical scheduling are coordinated with medical and radiation oncologists

4. Evidence Over Convention

Treatment follows current musculoskeletal oncology research, informed directly by her own published work in the field.

5. Patient Communication as a Clinical Priority

Before any procedure is scheduled, the patient knows exactly what is happening and why, in English, Hindi, or Kannada.

6. Post-Operative Follow-Up

Surveillance imaging, wound management, rehabilitation, and recurrence monitoring are part of the care plan from day one.



Dedicated Musculoskeletal Oncology Practice

Dr. Aanchal Bhatia’s entire clinical focus is on bone and soft tissue tumours. Not a sideline. The whole of it.



Clear Communication at Every Step

Patients understand their diagnosis, imaging findings, and all options in plain language before any decision is made.
