What department should I visit for a bone tumor?

Bone tumor, also known as bone cancer, requires patients to choose the appropriate department based on the specific nature of the tumor. Generally, the following departments are available: 1. Orthopedics: This department primarily diagnoses and treats diseases of the musculoskeletal system, including bone tumors. Patients with benign tumors or primary malignant tumors originating in the bones may visit the orthopedic department. 2. Bone Tumor Department: This is a specialized department dedicated specifically to treating bone tumors. If the hospital where the patient is seeking care has such a department, they may choose it directly. 3. Oncology Department: If the bone tumor is a metastatic tumor that originated from another cancer, such as lung cancer or liver cancer, patients should visit the oncology department. 4. Radiation Oncology Department: For patients whose tumors cannot be surgically removed or who are not suitable candidates for surgery, the radiation oncology department offers an alternative treatment option. 5. Surgery Department: When conservative treatments are ineffective and the tumor is large or invading surrounding structures, surgical intervention may be necessary. If in doubt, patients may consult hospital staff for assistance.
