History
The concept of a Philippine Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (PMTS) took shape in 2004 as eight (8) tumor orthopaedic surgeons came together with the purpose of promoting musculoskeletal oncology in both the local, regional, and international setting.
The society carries with it the objectives of standardizing management of bone and soft tissue sarcomas, increasing public awareness, and promoting continuing education and research into this field.
