Sarcoma Program
The Sarcoma program combines
the expertise of several different doctors, nurses
and other health care professionals. This program
is led by Richard
Lackman, MD, orthopaedic oncologist, and Arthur
Staddon, MD, medical oncologist.
This interdisciplinary team approach means that
experts in treatment, nutrition, support and
other areas will assist you in developing a total
body approach to your cancer treatment. Our patient-centered
approach ensures that you and your family will
get the medical care and emotional support that
you need.
Further, our clinical trials program offers
innovative approaches to treating these cancers
with a focus on limb preservation and quality
of life. And, our research program brings the
latest technical advances directly to you, our
patients.
Our program includes doctors from all the fields
necessary to properly treat and diagnose bone
or soft tissue sarcomas, including specialists
in:
- orthopaedic oncology
- surgical oncology
- medical oncology
- radiation oncology
- diagnostic radiology
- pathology
An experienced nurse practitioner who works
exclusively with sarcoma patients is an important
part of the team. Nurses, social workers, nutritionists,
physical therapists and prosthetists are also
an integral part of your care.
Our faculty and staff will take the time to
explain your condition and treatment options
in understandable terms and will follow you throughout
the course of your treatment.
