G Bacci, D Springfield, R Capanna, P Picci, F Bertoni and M Campanacci
Between 1974 and 1982, twelve patients with malignant fibrous histiocytoma
of the femur and tibia were treated by excision and adjuvant chemotherapy.
During the same time-period, eighteen patients were treated by excision
alone. The disease-free survival rate among the former was 59 per cent
(seven of twelve). There was only one survival in the latter group.
