Osteosarcoma is the most common form of bone cancer, and is often seen in children and young adults. Gary Friedlaender, MD, an oncologist with Yale Medicine’s Department of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation, has spent his career diagnosing benign and malignant lumps across the musculoskeletal structure – including bones, joints, ligaments and muscles.
