Bone Oncology

Bone oncology is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating cancers that occur in the bones. This includes both primary bone cancers, which start in the bones, and secondary cancers that spread to the bones from other parts of the body. In musculoskeletal oncology, specialists evaluate and manage tumors affecting the bones, joints, and surrounding tissues. Treatments may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapies. The goal is to remove cancer, preserve function, and improve quality of life for patients facing these challenging diagnoses.
