Primary tumors of bones and muscles are relatively rare, but have the potential to create tremendous disability and reduce lifespan. Secondary tumors (metastatic) may be the result of the spread of tumor from another body part. Musculoskeletal Oncology specialists in the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation deal with all of these diagnoses in a multi-disciplinary way. We work with our colleagues in Medical and Radiation Oncology to create a comprehensive plan for patients burdened with these challenging diagnoses.
