Pediatric Musculoskeletal Oncology

Pediatric musculoskeletal oncology focuses on diagnosing and treating bone and soft tissue tumors in children. This specialized field addresses conditions such as osteosarcoma and Ewing’s sarcoma, which are types of cancer that can develop in bones or the tissues around them. Treatment often involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and sometimes radiation therapy. Pediatric oncologists work closely with surgeons and radiologists to create personalized care plans that consider the child's growth and development, aiming to ensure the best possible outcomes while minimizing long-term impacts on the child's health and quality of life.
