Abstract
Survival rates for children and adolescents with osteosarcoma have increased significantly: The Survival, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program of the National Cancer Institute (USA) has shown the 5-year survival rate for whites diagnosed with bone cancer before age 15 between 1981 and 1986 to be 54% [1]; two decades earlier, the rate was 20% [2].
