Our orthopaedic oncology specialists diagnose and treat tumors and tumor-like conditions that affect bones and soft tissues. Soft tissues include muscles, tendons, ligaments, fat, and peripheral nerves.
We are a primary part of the Sarcoma and Connective Tissue Oncology Program at Dartmouth Cancer Center and Dartmouth Health. Our team of expert physicians and nurses come from various oncology-related fields with specialized training in treating sarcomas and other tumors of the connective tissues.
