Abstract
As we approach the end of the 20th century, there may be some value in looking at what has been accomplished, what detours were taken from an orderly progression of science, and what has not been achieved in research in pediatric oncology. We should also try to tabulate what controversies have been solved and which ones remain active. In this introduction to a book on osteosarcoma, we will tackle some of these issues in relation to this tumor type.
