Average savings compared to US prices
Chinese orthopedic oncology centers specialize in limb-salvage surgery for bone sarcomas, using custom 3D-printed titanium implants and massive allografts to reconstruct bones after tumor removal. Leading centers combine neoadjuvant chemotherapy with precision surgery to achieve limb preservation rates exceeding 85%. Treatment at specialized Chinese sarcoma centers costs 60-70% less than equivalent care in the US while maintaining international-standard outcomes.
Imaging & Biopsy
MRI, bone scan, CT chest, and carefully planned biopsy determine tumor type, grade, and extent
Duration: 3-5 daysNeoadjuvant Chemotherapy
High-dose methotrexate, doxorubicin, and cisplatin cycles shrink the tumor before surgery
Duration: 8-12 weeksLimb-Salvage Surgery
Wide resection of tumor with reconstruction using 3D-printed implant, allograft, or modular prosthesis
Duration: 4-8 hoursAdjuvant Chemotherapy & Rehab
Additional chemotherapy cycles based on tumor necrosis rate, plus intensive physical rehabilitation
Duration: 4-6 months- 3D-printed custom implants enable precise reconstruction
- Limb-salvage surgery avoids amputation in most cases
- High-volume centers with specialized sarcoma expertise
- Integrated rehabilitation restores function
- Implant infection or mechanical failure over time
- Limb length discrepancy especially in growing children
- Chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and hearing loss
- Local recurrence may ultimately require amputation
