Bone sarcoma incidence in the Netherlands

摘要

Aims: Chondrosarcoma, osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma form the majority of malignant primary tumours of bone. High-grade bone sarcomas require intensive treatment due to their rapid and invasive growth pattern and metastasising capabilities. This nationwide study covers overall incidence, treatment and survival patterns of bone sarcomas in a 15-year period (2000-2014) in the total population of the Netherlands.
