Musculoskeletal oncology is a clinical specialty dealing with a diverse population of patients with metastatic bone disease, hematological malignancies with musculoskeletal manifestations, primary bone malignancies and soft tissue sarcomas. There are wide-spread disparities including socioeconomic (SES) and insurance-related disparities reported in the literature. In this review, we'll summarize the disparities surrounding the musculoskeletal oncology.
