Preliminary Program - Musculoskeletal Tumor Society

2013 MSTS
Annual Meeting
San Francisco, California
Dear Colleagues + Guests,
Please join us at the Annual Meeting of the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society, to be held
October 3 – 5, 2013! This year’s conference marks the 37th MSTS gathering, and a
return to San Francisco after nearly 30 years.
We trust that you will agree that the Scientific Program is composed of presentations of the
highest academic caliber. Bay Area basic science breakthroughs in stem cell research and
other areas will be highlighted. In addition to discussing limb salvage advances, the care
of the amputee patient will be a focus, including osseointegrated transdermal prosthetic
devices and other strides in rehabilitation practice. With attendees from several continents
and many countries, international humanitarian and collaborative efforts for improving the
care of orthopaedic oncology patients will be featured.
We will host a concurrent Allied Health Program for Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners,
Physicians’ Assistants, and staff. Our very own James O. Johnston, MD will do his best
to Stump the Professors where attendees will be vying for the latest in iPad technology. On
Friday, you will have the opportunity to step out on the town in one of the world’s most
beautiful cities, in a season that typically offers the best climate.
Finally, we extend our thanks to all those who have made this conference possible.
We greatly appreciate the efforts of the MSTS Executive Committee and membership,
of the scholars who submitted their latest work, of our visiting colleagues, and
of our generous sponsors. We hope you will join us!
Sincerely,
Richard J. O’Donnell, MD
Program Chair
John H. Healey, MD, FACS

Historic Ferry Building and Marketplace
Across the street from the hotel, is the center of a transit hub
that connects all of San Francisco’s neighborhoods and the
surrounding bay communities.

Union Street Boutiques / Restaurants
The Union Street Shopping District contains some of the City’s
best eateries, art galleries, fine jewelry stores and trendy
boutiques in the Victorian charm of long ago. Plan on spending
at least half a day exploring up and down the street and don’t
miss the cross streets where you’ll find some real gems. Great
restaurants and cafés offering breakfast, lunch and dinner will
offer enjoyment and relaxation amid your shopping day!
Alcatraz and Angel Island
Now a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area,
Alcatraz Island is rich in history. Visible from Fisherman’s
Wharf, the island served as a military post from the 1850s
to 1933. In 1934, the government converted the buildings of the
military outpost into a maximum-security prison.
Angel Island, the largest island of the San Francisco Bay, offers
some of the best views of the surrounding area with great
hiking trails. The Island has over 100 years of military history.
Thousands of troops were processed through Angel Island
during World War I and World War II.
Napa / Sonoma Wine Country

of Napa Valley just north of San Francisco. The Hyatt Concierge

Asia as well as the oldest Chinatown in North America. Find out
why it is one of the top tourist attractions in San Francisco.
Pier 39 / Fisherman’s Wharf
One of San Francisco’s most popular tourist attractions,
Fisherman’s Wharf stretches from Ghirardelli Square at the
west end to PIER 39 at the east. Some 600 California sea lions
have taken up residence on floating docks adjacent to the
marina and have become a popular attraction themselves.
