Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, it is challenging to properly manage some malignant and other aggressive bone tumors, and effective decision making is required during diagnosis and treatment. To find reliable answers, consensus meetings, clinical trials, and big data studies are currently being conducted, and many of the latest diagnostic and treatment techniques are being applied. Nevertheless, there are still many obstacles to overcome for such rare diseases. This Special Issue aims to present a collection of advanced studies on basic, translational, and all other clinically significant soft tissue and bone tumors. We welcome your contributions on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Aneurysmal bone cysts;
- Giant cell tumor of bone;
- Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia;
- Langerhans cell histiocytosis;
- Osteofibrous dysplasia;
- Adamantinoma;
- Atypical cartilaginous tumors;
- Chondromyxofibroma;
- Osteosarcoma;
- Chondrosarcoma;
- Ewing’s sarcoma;
- Chordoma.
