Musculoskeletal Oncology

Musculoskeletal oncology focuses on diagnosing and treating cancers affecting bones, joints, and soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Conditions include osteosarcoma, sarcomas, chordomas, and metastatic bone disease. Treatment options may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapies. Surgical procedures include tumor resection, limb salvage, and reconstruction.

A multidisciplinary team collaborates to provide comprehensive care, addressing patient needs and improving outcomes. Early detection and treatment significantly enhance survival rates and quality of life. Patients should consult specialized oncologists and orthopedic surgeons for personalized treatment plans, ensuring optimal management of musculoskeletal cancers and related conditions.
