A book written in French
Primitive malignant bone tumours occur much less frequently than metastases in the bone so they are less well understood and are sometimes not given appropriate treatment.
This book examines the diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment of the three most common types of primitive malignant bone tumour: osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma.
Secondary bone cancers, on the the other hand, are much more common, but treatment of them is not highly structured in France. Greater life expectancy for patients suffering from cancer with bone metastases depends on better diagnosis and treatment in order to improve their quality of life.
The aim of this book is to offer a structured, multidisciplinary approach to the care of patients suffering from bone metastases.
