Chapter Overview

The treatment of bone sarcomas has changed dramatically over the past 30 years. Appropriate diagnosis and adequate treatment depend on a multidisciplinary approach. MD Anderson Cancer Center has designed a unique clinic system devoted to the complex treatment of bone sarcomas. Multidisciplinary providers see patients side by side. Multidisciplinary team conferences, as well as surgery-specific conferences, enable agreement on and coordination of treatment. Pathologist and physician expertise specific to bone sarcomas is crucial.
