| Columbia University’s Tumor &
Bone disease service benefits from the experience and expertise of
Dr. Francis Y. Lee.
The team treats bone tumors, soft tissue tumors, genetic bone disease,
cartilage disorders, metabolic bone disease, and infection in children
and adults.
The Tumor and Bone Disease Service
also treats limb length discrepancy, deformities, and post-traumatic
complications such as nonunion and painful joints in both children
and adult using complex surgical reconstruction techniques. Limb
may be reconstructed using various modalities of allograft cartilage
transplantation, bone allografts, specially designed expanding tumor
prosthesis for growing children, and tumor prosthesis for adults
in both upper and lower extremities.
The service includes a patient-oriented interdisciplinary team
for imaging, pathology, cytologenetic study, molecular pathology,
rehabilitation, and follow-up plans, as well as state-of-the-art
surgical facilities. Both pediatric and adult medical oncology services
are actively involved in chemotherapy and other supportive medical
care.
