The treatment of 40 patients with bone tumors have been presented. The primary tumors were located in the following sites: femur (14), tibia (8), fibula (4), humerus (4), scapula (1), clavicle (2), pelvis (5), hand (1). Investigated group were: osteosarcoma (18), Ewing's sarcoma (14), chondrosarcoma (2), fibrosarcoma (1), synovial sarcoma (1), chondroblastoma (4). In the most frequent malignant bone tumors, osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma, unified management was adapted. The treatment was initiated with multidrug chemotherapy and followed by surgery or radiotherapy (Ewing's sarcoma) of the primary site. Surgery was performed in 30 cases: 19 mutilating operations because of the broad local invasion, 11 conservative surgical procedures (limb -- salvage operations). Satisfactory oncological and functional effect can be achieved after limb-salvage surgical procedures in the cases of localized, especially semimalignant bone tumors.

D002804	Chondroblastoma	A usually benign tumor composed of cells which arise from chondroblasts or their precursors and which tend to differentiate into cartilage cells. It occurs primarily in the epiphyses of adolescents. It is relatively rare and represents less than 2% of all primary bone tumors. The peak incidence is in the second decade of life; it is about twice as common in males as in females. (From Dorland, 27th ed; Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, p1846)	Chondroblastomas
D003131	Combined Modality Therapy	The treatment of a disease or condition by several different means simultaneously or sequentially. Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.
