Abstract
Radiogenic and nonradiogenic osteosarcomas are rather frequent in retinoblastoma patients and probably also in retinoblastoma families. Besides the pathologic gene for retinooblastoma, there must be a predisposition to develop osteogenic sarcomas, which is probably genetic.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
