Orthopedic Oncology

Orthopedic oncology is a specialized field that focuses on diagnosing and treating bone and soft tissue tumors, both benign and malignant. Orthopedic oncologists are surgeons who manage conditions like sarcomas (cancers that start in bones or connective tissues) and metastatic tumors (cancers that have spread to bones from other parts of the body). They use advanced techniques, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, to remove tumors and preserve limb function. Their goal is to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients while maintaining quality of life, often collaborating with other specialists in cancer care.
