Abstract
The cooperative osteosarcoma study (COSS) group of the German Society of Pediatric Oncology (GPO) has been conducting adjuvant chemotherapy trials in children and adults with Osteosarcoma (OS) of the extremities since 1977. An outline of chemotherapies used for the different trials is given in Figure 32-1, and the metastases-free survival (MFS) probabilities in Figure 32-2.Keywords
