Orthopedic Oncology Program

Your Source of Strength to Beat Cancer

The Northside Hospital Orthopedic Oncology Program offers a personalized, comprehensive, multidisciplinary and sub-specialized clinical approach to the treatment of musculoskeletal tumors.

The Orthopedic Oncology Program stems from a collaboration between our nationally-recognized Northside Hospital Cancer Institute and Northside Hospital Orthopedic Institute. This multidisciplinary approach brings the care team in the room together, to effectively diagnose and treat patients with metastatic disease of the musculoskeletal system, bone and soft tissue sarcomas, and benign bone and soft tissue tumors.

This recognized program leads the way with advanced treatments in complex plastic and reconstructive surgery, deformity correction, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.
