This blog is a resource for people who are interested in musculoskeletal tumours, but is intended to be most useful for surgical trainees approaching the FRCS Orth examination. Craig Gerrand is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon working in the North of England Bone and Soft Tissue Tumour Service in Newcastle Upon Tyne. This service comprises a multidisciplinary team (including surgeons, oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and specialist nurses), has an associated research group and is one of the small number of recognised Bone Sarcoma Centres in England and Wales.

This is a personal blog – and although the information here is as good as possible, if you are a patient, you should always discuss health concerns with your doctor – this blog is no substitute for an expert consultation!
