Primary Malignant Bone Cancer Treatment

This service provides diagnosis and surgery for primary malignant bone cancers. Examples of conditions include Osteosarcoma and Ewing’s sarcoma.

These rare cancers typically affect teenagers and young children. The outlook is good with specialist care provided the cancer is detected early enough. One key aim is to avoid amputation if possible.
