Conditions We Treat
The Orthopedic Oncology experts at The CORE Institute are part of a comprehensive care team focused on these conditions which affect the musculoskeletal system. Common conditions that are encountered include:
-
- Benign bone and soft tissue tumors – In some cases no specific treatment is needed as many lumps or masses represent little or concern or problem after proper diagnosis.
- Cancerous/malignant soft tissue or bone tumors – Although less common, tumors arising from the musculoskeletal system often require specific treatment.
- Metastatic disease – Cancerous tumors that have spread from elsewhere in the body and have established themselves the bone or muscle may require treatment to help improve comfort and mobility.
Types of Musculoskeletal Tumors
A tumor or mass found in the musculoskeletal system is an abnormal growth of muscle, bone or related tissues. In many cases, the mass may be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous), but expert attention and diagnosis is needed to help ensure that it is not something more serious.
