Bone cancers are rare and often misdiagnosed. Alan Yasko, MD, MBA will discuss the importance of a team approach to the diagnosis and the treatment of these cancers. He will emphasize the value of multidisciplinary management at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University for patients who may need one or a combination of cancer therapies including chemotherapy, radiation and/or surgery with state-of-the-art limb- sparing skeletal and soft tissue reconstructive surgery.
