Epidemiology of bone and soft-tissue sarcomas
Orthopaedics and Trauma, 09/18/09

Dean BJF et al. – Sarcomas are malignant tumours of connective tissue and account for around 1% of all the cancer diagnoses in the UK each year. Sarcomas can be categorized as being of either bone or soft tissue in origin and both categories consist of a wide variety of histological subtypes. Most sarcomas affect limbs, most frequently the leg; about 15% affect the head and neck area or are found externally on the trunk, while the remainder are internal and located in the retroperitoneum or abdomen.
