A highly specialized field of orthopedics dedicated to the treatment of bone and soft tissue tumors of the musculoskeletal system. This includes bone and soft tissue sarcomas, benign bone and soft tissue tumors, and skeletal metastatic disease from cancers that spread to bone.

Sarcomas are rare cancers that arise from connective tissue including muscles, fat, nerves, and bone. Although there are more the 50 types of sarcoma, they generally have significant potential for local recurrence and development of metastatic disease. They require specialized care from a multidisciplinary team.
