A rare team of experts, here in central Pennsylvania

Committed to cancer care and research, Geisinger’s Cancer Institute brings world-class cancer care to Pennsylvania. Unlike treatment for some diseases, treatment of bone cancer is not a one-time event. On-going and follow-up care requires a full range of complex services from experienced physicians.

The broad level of specialty care at Geisinger usually is found only at academic medical centers in big cities. But we bring world-class care to central Pennsylvania, ensuring that you have advanced options for treatment close to home, family and friends. Geisinger’s multidisciplinary Sarcoma and Bone Cancer Clinic is a great example of how our doctors work together to bring world-class care to central Pennsylvania, and ensure that you have advanced options for treatment close to home, family and friends.

World-class treatment for a range of conditions

We treat patients whose lung, prostate, breast, or kidney cancer has spread, or “metastasized,” to the bone. We also treat patients with rare cancers that occur first in the bone.  Not all tumors are cancer. For these “benign” tumors of the bone and soft tissues, you can count on our specialists and subspecialists to bring you the latest treatments, as well.

From your initial diagnosis and throughout the follow-up care that will keep you at your healthiest, Geisinger’s focus is on you, allowing you to focus on treatment and recovery. Click here to view information about our multidisciplinary team.
