Bone Tumor Program

We are proud to be among the largest pediatric bone tumor clinics in the United States. Our multidisciplinary program is part of the Solid Tumor Programs.

Evaluation and Treatment

Patients with bone lesions, whether suspected or known to be malignant, receive initial evaluation in our multidisciplinary Musculoskeletal Tumor Clinic where they are seen by both a pediatric oncologist and an orthopedic oncology surgeon. Patients with malignant bone tumors will receive care and treatment from this unique team of providers at Texas Children’s Cancer Center; patients with benign bone tumors receive follow up care from the Department of Orthopedics at Texas Children’s Hospital. Modalities of treatment used to treat malignant bone tumors may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and/or immunotherapy.
