Abstract

As with malignant neoplasms of the soft tissues, the incidence of malignant neoplasms of bone and cartilage in comparison with those of any other anatomical system of similar size is low. The number of deaths from malignant neoplasms of the digestive system in England and Wales for 1973, 39,300, was cited in the previous chapter. The equivalent figure for deaths from malignant neoplasms of bone was 518: deaths from multiple myeloma were 1,155. However, in the local series, and again as with lesions of soft tissue, the proportion of borderline lesions to forthright diagnoses is high.
