Abstract

Primary malignant tumors of bone are rare and constitute one of the more uncommon types of neoplasms. Only about 1,500 new bone sarcomas are reported in the United States each year. Yet, because of the effects of radical surgery and chemotherapy, the very existence of these tumors leads to a significant reduction in the quality of life in children and adolescents. Notwithstanding their rarity, primary tumors are important for understanding cancer and its treatment.
