Track: Orthopedic oncology
Orthopedic oncology is a specialized field within orthopedics focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of benign and malignant tumors of the bones and soft tissues. This field addresses a wide range of tumor types, including primary bone cancers, soft tissue sarcomas, metastatic bone diseases, and other skeletal system malignancies. Treatment methods often involve a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and advanced reconstructive techniques to manage tumors and preserve functionality.
Key Topics and Highlights:
Primary Bone Tumors: Focus on common primary bone cancers such as osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, and
chondrosarcoma, including their pathophysiology and treatment strategies.
Soft Tissue Sarcomas: Diagnosis and management of soft tissue tumors, such as liposarcoma,
leiomyosarcoma, and fibrosarcoma, and their impact on surrounding structures.
Metastatic Bone Disease: Understanding how cancers from other body parts (e.g., breast, lung, prostate)
spread to bones and the clinical approaches to managing these secondary
cancers.
Surgical Techniques in Orthopedic Oncology: The role of surgical intervention in the removal of tumors, limb salvage
procedures, and advances in reconstructive surgeries to restore function.
Adjuvant Therapies: The use of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapies alongside
surgical treatments to address malignancies in orthopedic oncology.
Summary:
The session on orthopedic oncology will delve into the critical aspects of diagnosing and treating bone and soft tissue tumors, focusing on both benign and malignant conditions. Experts will discuss surgical techniques, including limb salvage and reconstruction, to restore function and quality of life for patients affected by tumors. Emphasis will also be placed on the multidisciplinary approach, involving chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapies in the treatment of orthopedic cancers. Attendees will gain insight into the latest advancements in diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation within orthopedic oncology, with a focus on improving patient outcomes.Scientific Highlights
