Services
Our multidisciplinary group of clinicians specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of bone and soft tissue tumors — both malignant and benign. The team represents one of the largest sarcoma (tumor arising in the bone or soft tissue) treatment groups in the country. Our orthopaedic oncologists have dedicated their clinical practice to the treatment of bone and soft tissue tumors, giving them the ability to see the largest number of patients with these rare tumors and making them leaders in their field.

• Each week, along with the entire care team, two conferences are held at which staging studies and patient treatment plans are discussed.
• These meetings provide a forum to discuss the care of each patient and facilitate teamwork in solving complex cases.

Advanced Treatments
Our team is available to perform biopsies to complete staging of tumors and we encourage patients to have biopsy studies done when they arrive at our center to ensure seamless treatment planning.

Patients are seen in our multidisciplinary clinic where all aspects of care are met in one location. This unique “one stop” clinical care unit helps patients get the comprehensive care they need on one day without ever having to leave our clinic.

Patients have access to the most technically sophisticated treatments available for these diseases including:

• Hand and joint reconstruction
• Proton beam and intensity modulated radiation therapy
• Bone allografting (replacement) and prostheses
• Innovative chemotherapy regimens

Treatment plans are coordinated through our team approach and includes:

• orthopaedic oncology surgeons
• radiation oncologists
• medical oncologists
• pathologists and radiologists
• nurse practitioners
• In special circumstances: neurosurgeons and thoracic surgeons

Support & Coping
We know that being diagnosed with cancer can be stressful for you and your family. We offer a variety of services to help patients and families gain the support and information they will need to meet the challenges ahead.
