Abstract
We have studied 560 patients with osteosarcoma of a limb, who had been treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy, in order to analyse the incidence of local and systemic recurrence according to the type of surgery undertaken. Of these, 465 patients had a limb-salvage procedure and 95 amputation or rotationplasty.Keywords
