Pediatric Orthopaedic Oncology

Pediatric orthopaedic oncology is a specialized field of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating bone tumors and related issues in children. This includes both benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) tumors that affect the bones and soft tissues in growing kids. Treatment may involve surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, tailored to each child's needs. The aim is to effectively manage the tumor while preserving healthy function and growth in the affected area, ensuring the best possible outcomes for young patients as they develop and mature.
