Making a Referral
The Musculoskeletal Tumor Center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center accepts referrals for benign and malignant bone and soft tissue tumors. We accept physician referrals and self referrals.
Convenient Referral Process
An experienced oncology nurse facilitates all referrals. The center coordinator facilitates gathering medical history, information and imaging studies. The coordinator also works directly with the family to schedule the evaluations, handle all precertification and assist in making travel arrangements if needed.
