The multidisciplinary Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcoma Treatment Program at the Hyundai Cancer Institute at CHOC Children’s combines the expertise of pediatric and medical oncologists, orthopedic oncology surgeons, radiation oncologists, pathologists, physical therapists, prosthetic specialists, social workers and child life specialists to provide patients compassionate, family-centered care. Our specialists balance the need for aggressive treatment with the need to provide patients with the highest quality of life both during and after cancer treatment. To accomplish this mission, the team works with patients, their families and the Cancer Institute Tumor Board to make decisions that are the most appropriate for treatment yet keep long-term impact as minimal as possible. Our patients have access to the latest treatments, pediatric or adult clinical trials, as well as innovative Phase I clinical trials.  In addition, our patients are able to receive all of their treatments in the Cancer Institute’s state-of-the-art facilities—including surgeries, bone marrow transplants, chemotherapy, and much more.
