Primary cancer or bone metastasis: understand the difference

When someone mentions “bone cancer,” it’s important to understand that not all cases are the same. In this episode, orthopedic oncologist Dr. Roberto Colón explains the difference between primary bone tumors and bone metastases, how they are detected, and why their treatment approaches are completely different.

We also discuss the role of medical imaging in diagnosis and surgical planning, advances in limb-sparing surgery, and the challenges related to access to specialized implants in Puerto Rico.
