Funded Activity Summary

Osteosarcoma is the most common cancer of bone. It osurs most frequently in childhood (teenage years) and current therapy is limited to surgery and chemotherapy. We have developed a new model of osteosarcoma that displays a high degree of similarity to human osteosarcoma. We aim to further understand this model and apply these findings to help treat human osteosarcoma.
