Great advances in oncological orthopaedic surgery have been accomplished in recent years due to development of new prosthetic systems, improvement in the use of allografts, new microsurgical procedures. Often a combination of them (allograft + prosthesis or allograft + vascularized bone transplant) has been the key to obtain major improvement in results. Some of these advances are addressed on the basis of the experience of the Authors in the treatment of bone and soft tissue tumors. Mini-invasive techniques are also finding a place in the oncological practice and their role is going to grow, even if limited to specific issues. Recent development in technology and instruments for cryotherapy makes this technique a valuable aid for the surgeons in many oncological situations
