Osteosarcoma Treatment in Shefaa Al Orman international oncology hospitals

Shefaa Al Orman International Oncology Hospitals treats osteosarcoma in Luxor, Egypt, through a dedicated sarcoma unit and pediatric oncology program. An online surgeon consultation may be around $40–$60; the listed radiation course may run around $3,000–$4,500, though that price is for colorectal cancer treatment, not an osteosarcoma-specific package. The team includes a sarcoma surgeon, radiation oncologist, medical oncologist, and anesthesiologist.

Osteosarcoma diagnosis

The hospital assesses the patient’s health history and symptoms, then uses imaging, biopsy, and lab tests to investigate the tumor. Its on-campus teams include pathology, nuclear medicine, and interventional radiology.

• Imaging: MRI and CT scans help assess the tumor and surrounding areas.
• Biopsy: Interventional radiology can guide a biopsy using CT or ultrasound. The pathology laboratory examines the sample.
• Blood tests: Tests review general health, past illnesses, symptoms, and risk factors.
• Genetic testing: PCR and next-generation sequencing (NGS) laboratories, plus a biobank, support genomic testing.
• MDT review: A multidisciplinary clinic reviews the case with relevant specialists.
• Online surgeon consultation: A consultation with a surgeon may be around $40–$60.

Treatment options for osteosarcoma

Dr. Mohamed Ahmed Ebrahim, a consultant in sarcoma surgery, works with the hospital’s multidisciplinary sarcoma team. Osteosarcoma is managed within the pediatric oncology unit, on a campus with separate adult and children’s cancer hospitals.

• Sarcoma surgery: A dedicated sarcoma surgeon performs tumor resection. Surgery prices are provided individually after evaluation.
• Chemotherapy: Courses take place in the day-care unit, with same-day discharge when the protocol allows. The team combines chemotherapy with surgery where the treatment plan calls for it.
• Radiation therapy: The radiation oncology department offers treatment through two dedicated outpatient clinics. Its listed radiation course may be around $3,000–$4,500; the price entry refers to colorectal cancer, not osteosarcoma.
• Targeted therapy and immunotherapy: Both are listed among the sarcoma unit’s treatment options. The clinic quotes them individually after evaluation.
• Rehabilitation and pain care: Physical medicine and rehabilitation, rheumatology, and pain specialists support mobility and limb function after surgery.

The hospital holds ESMO accreditation and ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications. A free evaluation includes medical review, a treatment plan, and a cost estimate. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.
