Orthopaedic Oncology


Advanced Treatment of Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors

The multidisciplinary orthopaedic oncology group at Loyola Medicine brings an integrated approach to treating bony and soft tissue tumors, which can include both benign and malignant conditions, in pediatric and adult patients.

Our specialists meet every other Tuesday in the Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center to discuss current and ongoing patient cases. The collaborative review available at Loyola has shown to yield better outcomes due to the careful planning for surgical needs, advanced chemotherapy and radiation oncology services and thorough post-operative care.

Our goal is to provide the most successful outcome from the cancer and quality of life perspectives. We emphasize the importance of precise diagnosis, methodical imaging and customized treatment for every patient.

Comprehensive Sarcoma Care

Cancers arising from the musculoskeletal system (sarcomas) are rare diseases. They can be challenging to diagnose and treat, which is why it is important to seek your care at a cancer center that specializes in sarcomas.

The Sarcoma Program at Loyola Medicine combines the expertise of a multidisciplinary oncology team with comprehensive testing and treatment options for patients with a known or potential bony or soft tissue sarcoma.

The program's team includes experts in orthopaedic oncology, musculoskeletal pathology, musculoskeletal-trained radiology, radiation oncology, musculoskeletal pediatric hematology/oncology, cardiothoracic surgery, surgical oncology and genetics for certain syndromes and molecular diagnostics. Together, our team makes up every component patients may need to successfully treat their sarcoma.
