Osteosarcoma PI OS-1 Protocol
NCCN Pacific Island Working Group Protocol for the treatment of Localised Osteosarcoma
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy diagnosed in children and young adolescents, even so it is still relatively rare with age-standardised incidence between 0-19 of approximately 5 per million per year. Over half of all cases occur in young people aged between 10- to-24 years old, where it accounts for >10% of all solid cancers. It is more common in males with a male: female ratio of 1.4.
