A member asked:
Are any special tests needed, or can a regular doctor see me for my bone cancer?

Depends: "bone cancer" is a nonspecific, nonmedical term, but in general cancer patients should have their care coordinated by oncologists, radiation oncologists, or surgeons.

Specialist: For bone cancer- you should see a medical oncologist, plus radiation oncologist and/or surgical oncologist, not a regular doctor. Many times, it requires multi disciplinary approaches.
