Received Date: Jul 03, 2023 / Published Date: Jul 28, 2023
Abstract
Pediatric orthopedic oncology is a highly specialized field that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal tumors in children and adolescents. Dealing with cancer in young patients presents unique challenges, both medically and emotionally. This article delves into the intricacies of pediatric orthopedic oncology, highlighting the importance of early detection, advancements in treatment modalities, and the multidisciplinary approach that offers young patients the best chance of successful outcomes while preserving their quality of life.
Pediatric musculoskeletal tumors differ significantly from adult tumors in their presentation and biology. Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma are the most common primary malignant bone tumors in children, while soft tissue sarcomas, such as rhabdomyosarcoma, are also seen. Benign tumors, like osteochondroma and giant cell tumor, are more common in the pediatric population as well.
