Orthopaedic Oncology

Orthopaedic oncology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating bone and soft tissue tumors, both benign and malignant. It involves surgical procedures to remove tumors and may include additional treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Orthopaedic oncologists work to preserve limb function and overall quality of life for patients, collaborating with other specialists for comprehensive care. This field plays a critical role in managing conditions such as osteosarcoma and other cancers that affect the skeletal system, ensuring patients receive tailored treatments based on their specific type of tumor.
