Abstract
Diagnosis and assessment of the extent of tumour burden are key to managing musculoskeletal malignancy to avoid the risk of inappropriate treatment when palliation would be appropriate. This review sets out the principles of investigating suspected musculoskeletal malignancies for the non-specialist with a focus also on the musculoskeletal imaging rather than oncological staging. It is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all musculoskeletal malignancies.
