Cañadell's Pediatric Bone Sarcomas

Abstract

In this chapter, we take a look at the long history of developments in the treatments of bone tumors. Early in the twentieth century, only certain small, localized cancers that could be removed by surgery were curable. Then came radiation, which was used after surgery to control the growth of small tumors that could not be widely removed. The introduction of neoadjuvant and preoperative (induction) chemotherapy was the next big step forward. For some patients it was possible to combine treatments: adjuvant multi-agent chemotherapy, limb-salvage surgery and radiotherapy. Meanwhile, the development of new imaging techniques permitted better diagnosis and assessment of disease. As diagnostic and therapeutic techniques improve, patients with musculoskeletal sarcomas can expect increased survival, decreased complications and side effects, and an improved quality of life.

In memoriam of José Cañadell (1923–2014), a master and pioneer in the treatment of malignant bone tumors.
