Patient Stories
Treatment for Myxoid Liposarcoma | Laini's Story
Laini noticed a lump on her leg and knew something wasn't right. It turned out to be a low-grade liposarcoma - a rare type of cancer. Laini's mother looked for a specialized center that could offer more insights on this diagnosis, which led her to Dr. Adam Levin at Johns Hopkins.
Osteosarcoma | Jaliyah's Story
After 9-year-old Jaliyah was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, her mother searched for an option to save her leg from amputation. Dr. Carol Morris offered an alternative — a complex limb-sparing surgery, which allowed Jaliyah to continue dancing.
