Conditions we treat

Bone TumorsA bone tumor is a lump or mass of tissue that forms when cells divide uncontrollably.

SarcomaOsteosarcoma is a bone cancer that starts in the bone itself, rather than another cancer which has spread to the bone.

ChordomasExpert care is available to treat these rare, slow-growing spine/skull base bone tumors.

Most common bone tumors we treat

A bone tumor is an abnormal growth of cells within the bone, which can be benign or malignant. Bone tumors can originate in the bone itself or spread to the bone from other parts of the body.

Orthopedic oncology services in New Jersey

Prioritizing limb-sparing treatments

We specialize in techniques that give patients the best possible outcomes without amputating arms, legs or other appendages.

During limb-sparing surgery, only the tumor and any of the affected bone or tissue in the surrounding area is removed.

The excised area is then reconstructed using metal implants, muscle flaps and transfers, or bone grafts.

Our goal is not only to preserve limbs, but to maintain as much function and mobility as we can.

Multi-disciplinary team working for you

Our surgeons work with a large team specializing in:

Adult and pediatric medical oncology
Integrative medicine
Musculoskeletal radiology
Orthopedic surgery
Pain management
Pathology
Physical therapy and rehabilitation
Radiation oncology

We also have a dedicated nurse navigator on staff, who helps guide patients through the treatment process and provides referrals to support resources when needed.

For maximum convenience, all of our specialists are located on one campus, eliminating the need to travel to multiple offices.

Collaborative care for optimal limb function

Our orthopedic oncology team collaborates closely with the physical therapy and rehabilitation experts at Atlantic Rehabilitation Institute to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

By working hand in hand, we provide comprehensive care that spans from surgery through recovery, both in the hospital and afterwards. Our integrated approach aims to preserve maximum limb function and mobility, helping patients regain independence and transition smoothly back to their daily lives.

Soft tissue tumors we treat

A soft tissue tumor is an abnormal growth that develops in the tissues that connect, support or surround other body structures, such as muscles, fat, nerves, blood vessels and tendons. These tumors can be benign or malignant.

A list of soft tissue tumors we treat is shown below:
