Sažetak
Bone tumours represent an interesting problem
in contemporary oncology. Treatment of primary and secondary
bone and joints tumours has significantly changed for
the last 25 years. Increase in the survival of treated patients
from previously 20% to presently 75% is promising. There is a
number of different operative procedures in the patients with
bone and joints tumours. In regard to the longer survival of
treated patients, especially due to useful adjuvant treatment,
about 85 % of patients are treated with limb salvage surgery.
Limb salvage surgery is a surgical resection of the tumour
including surrounding healthy tissue and with salvage of the
extremity. Better and more successful procedures are
expected in the future with the aid of new basic investigations,
biotechnology and scientific achievements.
