Orthopedic Oncologist Dr. Richard Schmidt

Dr. Richard Schmidt, Medical Director of Orthopedic Oncology at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) at Eastern Regional Medical Center, appears on WHYY Delaware Tonight.

An orthopedic oncologist, Dr. Schmidt discusses metastasic bone cancer, which can develop when primary cancer spreads through the blood stream to the bone. He talks about how it occurs and common signs to look out for, such as pain.

Dr. Schmidt says he tells his patients who develop metastatic bone cancer to put the situation in perspective: “I have many patients with breast cancer to bone that I have been literally treating for the last 20 years and they still do very well,” he says.

Real Patients. Real Stories. Real Hope.

Do these videos feature real cancer patients?

Yes, the videos in this section feature real CTCA survivors with real stories to tell. These are not actors. They are cancer patients who came to CTCA and emerged as survivors. These stories are not scripted. They are personal accounts of people who found hope, and a voice, at CTCA. This is what they have to say, in their own words...

Why are some, not all, cancer types listed?

At CTCA, we treat individuals with a variety of cancer types. However, all of our survivors are not on film. If you don't see a survivor with the cancer type you're looking for, it only means we do not have a video at this time.

Keep in mind, we are continuously adding videos to this section. If you don't see the one you're looking for today, visit us again, or let us know how we can improve.
