Bone Tumors
Why Choose Us
Specialized care for benign & malignant bone tumors
Bone cancer may be primary (arising from the bones, such as osteosarcoma) or metastatic (spreading to the bones from cancer in another location, such as the prostate or breast). Some bone tumors are benign. Each type of bone tumor requires a unique treatment approach, ideally from a multidisciplinary team of specialists.
At the Weill Cornell Medicine Meyer Cancer Center at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, our bone cancer experts are highly skilled in diagnosing and treating all types of benign and malignant bone tumors, including osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, bone-forming and cartilage-forming tumors, fibrous and fibrohistiocytic tumors, round cell tumors, giant cell tumors, and vascular tumors.
Our bone tumor specialists combine their skills and experience to customize a plan of treatment aimed at curing your cancer while preserving your form and function — avoiding amputation whenever possible and offering reconstructive surgery when needed. Our team also participates in clinical trials evaluating novel treatments to advance the care of people with bone tumors. You may have the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial of a promising treatment. Learn more about clinical trials here.
