Treatments and procedures
The diagnosis and treatment of sarcomas and other connective tissue tumors are complex. Our orthopaedic oncology experts offer the resources of a world-class medical center along with a personalized approach to your care. We work as an integrated part of Dartmouth Cancer Center's Sarcoma Oncology Program to provide you with quality coordinated and individualized care.
If you have a known bone or soft-tissue lesion but do not yet know the cause, your doctor may order tests to gather more information. Common tests include state-of-the-art imaging, physical exam, and biopsy. Once your tests are complete, your doctor will discuss the results, confirm your diagnosis, and help you decide on your next steps.
