Cancer has a profound and wide-ranging effect. Nevertheless, the human spirit brightens the road to recovery even in the darkest circumstances. Bone cancer is one of the most difficult types of this misleading disease. It aims to undermine the very basis of human nature by striking at the center of the human structure. The fight against bone cancer is a testament to the human condition, marked by a tenacious pursuit of normalcy and health in the face of adversity. The inspirational “Ortho Onco Champions Meet” was held by Medica Superspecialty Hospital to honor resiliency and optimism.

The event was graced by both the bone cancer survivors and their caregivers.

The event’s guest of honour was Mr. Nicolas Facino, Executive Director Alliance française du Bengale.

Also gracing the occasion were Mr. Partha Sarkar, Chairman, Cancer Awareness and Prevention Committee, Rotary International, District 3291, Swami Suparnananda, Secretary, RKM Institute of Culture, Goplark, Shri Shakti Prasad Mishra, Nivedita Chair, Centre for Indological Studies and Research, RMIC, Golpark, Swami Dheyananda, Principal, RKM Shilpapitha Engineering College and Dr. Kousik Nandy, Consultant – Surgical Oncology (Musculoskeletal), Medica Superspecialty Hospital.

About 4,000 new cases of bone cancer are detected in India alone each year, according to recent data from the Indian Cancer Society. Roughly 5% of cancer cases worldwide are bone cancers. To create a community where survivors can support one another on their ongoing travels and draw mental strength from one another’s experiences, Medica intended to use this Ortho Onco Survivors Meet to create a network of support for patients suffering from bone cancer.

Dr. Kousik Nandy, said, ” Since there are several varieties of bone cancer that afflict people of different ages and that some are more common in adults, bone cancer is difficult to treat and sometimes misunderstood by the general population. Every case is different and requires tailored attention. Our hospital specializes in cutting-edge care that aims to restore function and quality of life, such as limb recovery surgery. Stories that give cancer sufferers hope and reassure them that life can go back to normal have inspired us today. To guarantee that each patient receives the best care possible, our committed team works nonstop. Bone cancer can be efficiently controlled with early detection and care, providing patients with a hopeful prognosis for their future”.

The event commemorated the path of survival, rejuvenation, and the significant influence of compassionate healthcare via the inspirational stories of the champions. As Medica maintains its position as a leader in cancer care, its efforts promise not only treatment but also the possibility of life restoration and a resurgence of optimism.
