A study is presented of the aetiology and results of treatment in a group of 125 proven osteosarcomas present in children under fifteen years of age. These cases have been collected from the records of one English and six European treatment centres. There is a slight male preponderance, but the striking aetiological feature is the very high proportion of tumours of the long bones of the limbs (96 per cent). The two and a half and five year disease-free survival rates were respectively 15 and 12 per cent, with a further 9 per cent still living, but under observation for less than two and a half years. Evidence of metastasis after two and a half years is very unusual, but no child with a tumour of an axial or girdle bone lived this length of time. Although the differences in the results of the different methods of treatment employed are not statistically valid, the largest number of long survivors had been treated by early amputation, which method also provided the lowest rate of local tumour recurrences. Reasons are discussed which indicate that prompt ablation is the treatment of choice, perhaps with certain advantages in the light of recent advances in adjuvant treatment. The past situation in connection with childhood osteosarcoma certainly provides strong support for immediate carefully designed clinical trials of the new adjuvant methods cited.
