Tumor of Bone
Bone Tumor Treatment in Palm Beach Gardens
Metastatic bone disease develops from cancer that arises at one location (i.e. lung, breast, prostate, etc.) and spreads to bone. These metastatic cancers present as tumors of bone that can cause severe pain, bone and joint degradation, limit movement, and have a deleterious effect on the general quality of life for the patient.
As a board-certified orthopedic surgeon in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Dr. Holly Brown Lenard is highly trained in the care and treatment of patients with bone tumors. Her patients have regained function and experienced a reduction in pain that allows them to participate in their lives again while pursuing treatment for their primary disease.
Diagnosis of bone tumors is accomplished through specialized radiographic studies and confirmed with biopsy. Subsequent treatment consists of local management and control (removal) and may include joint replacement or other bone fixation.
Dr. Holly Brown Lenard takes a team-oriented approach to her patients’ care. From your first visit, she communicates with your oncologist, primary care physician and support system in order to get a comprehensive picture of your health and determine the best possible course of treatment.
