Novel Clinical Practice Assessments: Informational Statements by the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society

Nicholas S Tedesco et al. J Surg Oncol. 2025 Mar.

Abstract

Musculoskeletal oncology involves rare diseases. As a result, there is a paucity of literature to guide practitioners. Studies are often clinical experience, retrospective reviews, noncomparative studies, and involve small numbers of patients. However, technological advances consistently arise in this field. This article represents the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society efforts to improve multispecialty collaboration and research credibility. It involves brief systematic reviews of novel ideas and suggests high-quality research needed to provide and standardize best practices within this field.

Keywords: MSTS; clinical practice; evidence‐based; novel; review.
