Orthopedic Oncology Research

World leaders in cryotherapy of bone and soft tissue tumors

Our physicians aren't just in the OR all day—they're advancing the field of orthopedic oncology as a whole. Our doctors work closely with other research faculty to explore and search for ways to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of orthopedic injury, disease, and deformity. 

Specifically, our research helps make us world leaders in cryotherapy of bone and soft tissue tumors, which includes percutaneous treatment of malignant tumors. We are also one of the few programs in the country with a dedicated renal cell carcinoma metastases clinic and study group.
