Musculoskeletal Oncology Experts
The musculoskeletal oncology program at UPMC Orthopaedic Care has dedicated experts in the field of bone cancer treatment.
To promote the best outcomes possible, our three dedicated orthopaedic oncologists work with other UPMC experts in a team setting, including:
- Microvascular surgeons
- Spine surgeons
- General and colorectal surgeons
- Vascular surgeons
Complete orthopaedics and cancer care
Our program also offers supporting services that span the entire field of orthopaedics and cancer care.
One of our greatest resources — UPMC Hillman Cancer Center — allows us to offer this integrated treatment and expertise.
- For people with bone and soft tissue malignancies, we have access to a complete cancer team, including chemotherapy and radiation oncology experts.
- Those with sarcomas receive coordinated care through the Sarcoma Specialty Care clinic at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center. Medical and radiation oncology specialists have specific expertise in sarcoma and musculoskeletal neoplasms.
Our team discusses all musculoskeletal tumor cases at our multidisciplinary meeting. In fact, UPMC is one of only 12 hospitals in the United States that has this kind of dedicated team.
And, with our open-door policy, we see all patients regardless of a referral from another physician.
