Research
Dr. Lozano has a strong interest in clinical research in orthopaedic oncology. His academic practice involves multiple clinical studies evaluating particular neoplastic problems of osseous and connective tissue nature. His focus of research includes clinical outcomes after reconstructive oncologic surgery in the upper and lower extremities, oncologic problems in the upper extremity and functional outcomes after surgical treatment in patients with primary sarcomas of bone and soft-tissue, as well as metastatic bone disease.
In the video below, he discusses the latest innovations in treating bone cancer using patient profiling to develop more targeted treatment plans. You can read more about Dr. Lozano's research on Mass General's Advances in Motion website
