Bone Tumor Program

What Sets Us Apart

As one of the nation’s largest programs of its type, the Bone Tumor Program delivers specialized care for children with benign and malignant bone tumors, including osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and predisposition‑related tumors. Within the Solid Tumor Programs at Texas Children’s, expert clinicians work together using advanced diagnostics to guide personalized treatment plans.    

Through our Musculoskeletal Tumor Clinic, patients benefit from efficient and team-based care with pediatric oncologists, orthopedic surgeons, and physical therapists working together to streamline diagnosis and treatment.  

Key characteristics that set our Program apart are listed below:

• A true multidisciplinary team that unites expertise across oncology, orthopedic surgery, radiology, pathology, radiation oncology, and physical therapy to guide patient care
• Our Clinic brings specialists together in one place, providing faster evaluations, coordinated decisions, and fewer appointments for families
• A strong focus on long‑term recovery, supporting each child’s rehabilitation, mobility, and developmental milestones, led by a dedicated musculoskeletal physical therapist
• We drive discovery, developing new tumor models, advancing immunotherapy approaches, and studying long‑term outcomes like chronic pain and functional recovery
