Overview

Neoplasms affecting bone tissue have different localization. In children, a primary type of cancer usually occurs, characterized by a pathological process at the initial stage in a certain part of the skeleton. This type of oncology is considered very dangerous due to the absence of pronounced symptoms at an early stage and rapid progression. Often, children are diagnosed with bone formation in the late stages. This is due to the lack of sufficient oncological training of doctors, a low level of knowledge and practical experience.

That is why many parents come to Israel to save their children, where the famous Tel Aviv Medical Clinic is located. The children’s oncology department is equipped with the most modern equipment that allows using innovative, computerized systems with high information content. Such devices can reveal the presence of sarcoma or another type of bone neoplasm even at the stage of birth.
