Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in Thailand [1,2]. The peak age group and skeletal distributions are not different from those of many countries [1,3,4]. Only a minority of cases have been referred to seven tertiary care centers for radio- or chemotherapy throughout the country. Our institute is one of these, and we admit approximately 5–10 referral cases annually.
