Substantial advances have been made in our ability to cure patients and restore a functional limb in the majority of patients with bone tumors.

A partial list of the types of tumors we treat includes:

• Radiographic studies (including MRI, CT and ultrasound)

• Biopsy and laboratory tests

• Initial consultation (benign tumor):
  Patients with benign tumors are advised about treatment options aiming to return them to full activities with a minimum of intervention.

• Multidisciplinary evaluation (malignant tumor):
  Children`s orthopaedic surgeon and the oncologists at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute extensively evaluate patients with malignant tumors.
