Bone cancer treatments include:

Orthopedic oncology: Our orthopedic oncology program provides various orthopedic procedures for
patients—soft tissue excisions/resections, hip and joint replacement, and reconstructive and palliative
surgeries, for example—and addresses orthopedic problems that may occur, such as osteoporosis or
arthritis.

Surgery: Many surgeries may be performed, depending on the location and extent of the tumor.

Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy may be recommended to treat certain bone cancers, such as Ewing
sarcoma and osteosarcoma.

Radiation therapy: Bone tumors, often surrounded by sensitive tissues like nerves and blood vessels,
may be challenging and complicated to treat. Sophisticated radiation therapy delivery systems help our
radiation oncologists target difficult-to-reach bone tumors.

Targeted therapy: With this therapy, drugs attach to proteins, receptors or gene mutations found only on
specific types of cancer cells. Targeted therapy drugs may be used alone or in combination with
chemotherapy or other treatments, to help anti-cancer drugs better identify and attack cancer cells.
