Why are Prosthetic Implants Needed in Cancer Patients?
Cancer treatments such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy can lead to the removal of body parts or severe disfigurement. For example, mastectomy in breast cancer patients involves the removal of one or both breasts, leading to the need for breast reconstruction using prosthetic implants. Similarly, patients who undergo limb amputation due to bone cancer may require limb prosthetics.
