Ludhiana, Aug. 18 -- A four-year-old boy diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare malignant bone cancer in the ankle (distal fibula), has successfully undergone surgery at Dayanand Medical College and Hospital (DMCH), Ludhiana. The procedure, led by Dr Anubhav Sharma, consultant (orthopaedics), is the first of its kind at the hospital, giving the child a chance at full recovery and a normal life.

The surgery was aimed at removing the cancer while preserving the child's limb, a highly delicate and technically demanding task, especially in such a young patient.

Reportedly, the boy comes from an economically underprivileged family where financial support for the procedure was arranged through donations.
