MaleAbout Kyle R Sweeney
Dr. Kyle Sweeney is a specialist in musculoskeletal oncology and reconstructive surgery. He is an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer involving the bones and soft tissues in patients of all ages – from infants to octogenarians. He sees patients with sarcoma, bone cancer, benign bone tumors, benign soft tissue tumors, melanoma and multiple myeloma. He also treats patients with metastatic cancers that attack bone such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, kidney cancer, lung cancer, melanoma and thyroid cancer. Among the many types of procedures he performs, he is experienced in radical resections of sarcoma, limb salvage, joint reconstruction, rotationplasty, melanoma . In addition, he performs sentinel lymph node biopsies and various treatment modalities for metastatic bone cancer. In addition to surgical procedures for cancer, he also performs hip replacements in otherwise healthy patients with arthritis and other conditions affecting their mobility and quality of life.
Dr. Sweeney’s professional mission is to provide education, treatment and support to patients and families, empowering them to take control of their medical care. The patient who finds their way into his office has been unexpectedly thrust down an unfamiliar road. Where 2 weeks prior they were walking the dog, engaged at work or planning the next family vacation, today they find themselves bouncing between doctor visits, MRIs or blood draws. In these difficult circumstances, how do people regain a sense of control? They do so by understanding their diagnosis, preparing for and overcoming inevitable challenges and having an actionable plan moving forward. Although he takes a leading role, this process is not performed in a vacuum. Close coordination with medical oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and radiation oncologists ensures access to as many experts and treatment avenues as are available.
After earning his medical degree from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and completing his residency at Emory University, Dr. Sweeney completed a fellowship in musculoskeletal oncology at the University of Chicago.
