Bone Cancers (Osteosarcomas)
Comprehensive bone cancer care combining chemotherapy, surgery, and emerging treatments.
Overview
Primary bone cancers including osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and chondrosarcoma are rare but require specialized treatment. Our team coordinates with orthopedic oncology surgeons to deliver neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy around surgical resection.
For patients with metastatic or recurrent bone cancers, we offer access to clinical trials and emerging therapies.

- Bone pain that worsens over time
- Swelling or a palpable mass near a bone
- Fracture from weakened bone

Frequently Asked Questions
Who gets bone cancer?
Osteosarcoma is most common in adolescents and young adults, while chondrosarcoma is more common in middle-aged adults. Ewing sarcoma primarily affects children and young adults.
Is limb salvage possible?
Yes. Most patients with extremity bone cancers can be treated with limb-salvage surgery rather than amputation, especially when chemotherapy shrinks the tumor before surgery.
