Bone Cancers and Sarcomas

Research shows that the best patient outcomes in cancer cancer care come from multi-disciplinary tertiary hospital centers. The National Cancer Institute designates Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center as a Comprehensive Cancer Center, the highest ranking by the world’s leading authority on cancer.

One of the most important aspects of sarcoma care is making a diagnosis through appropriate pathways. Our specialists have dedicated their careers to treating patients with bone cancer and sarcomas. As the fourth largest patient care site in the nation for orthopaedic surgical oncology, we diagnose and treat over 300 patients each year. This experience translates into expert, comprehensive care for you. 

Our specialty cancer teams include medical and surgical oncologists, urologists, radiologists and radiation oncologists, pharmacists, pathologists, nutritionists and pain and symptom management physicians. We work together and with experts in other medical specialties to provide you personalized care that addresses your unique needs.

At our regular cancer care meetings, experts in your specific type of cancer from across medical disciplines work together to create a treatment plan for the most complex cases. Tumor boards generate consensus treatment plans, meaning that each patient benefits from expertise across disciplines, as physicians and providers review critical findings in the context of the most up to date standards of care.

We offer some of the most promising approaches being tested in patient studies called clinical trials. Participation is always your choice. We’ll give you all the information you need to make your best decision. Find a clinical trial.
