Benign bone tumors and metastatic bone tumors are often treated similarly, by performing a curettage-resection of the bone lesion and using cement and metal plates/rods to reconstruct the bone defect.
Radiation is frequently employed, in addition, for metastatic bone tumors. Some of the more aggressive metastatic tumors, such as renal cell carcinoma, also undergo cryosurgery to further reduce the risk of the tumor recurring.

For tumors that affect the hip joint, a partial hip replacement ("hemiarthroplasty") is often performed. This portion of the skeleton is under tremendous load and thus it is more effective to replace it than to repair it.
