Musculoskeletal Oncology (Sarcomas)

The Musculoskeletal Oncology service is involved in the diagnostic, surgical, and multidisciplinary care of patients of all ages with benign and malignant bone and soft tissue tumors of the extremities, pelvis, and shoulder girdle, as well as those patients with simulation of these processes.  In addition, patients with metastatic bone disease and proliferative synovial processes are evaluated and treated.

Close multidisciplinary interaction among the sections of Musculoskeletal Oncology, Pediatric Hematology & Oncology, Adult Hematology & Oncology, Radiation Oncology and Pathology allows comprehensive management of all pediatric and adult patients with primary bone and soft tissue sarcomas, multiple myeloma, lymphomas of bone, metastatic carcinomas to bone. 

Pediatric patients are frequently enrolled in the current COG (Children's Oncology Group) protocols.  Adult patients are treated on protocols open through the Adult Hematology/Oncology service.
