Abstract:
We have analysed 63 patients who had stage II osteosarcoma of the distal femur (32) or proximal tibia (31) to determine the patterns of disease-free and overall survival in relation to local growth. All had neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The extent of local growth predicts both types of survival in these tumours.
