July is Sarcoma and Bone Cancer Awareness Month, which is an important campaign dedicated to increasing the awareness and understanding of these unique and challenging diseases. Sarcomas are a rare group of cancers that originate in the bones or soft tissues of the body. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all of the researchers who have contributed to this field. In particular, we would like to share some of the innovative research findings and high-quality Special Issues in the related fields, published in Current Oncology (ISSN: 1718-7729). We hope this announcement will provide useful information for this field.
