Abstract
1. Nine patients treated for osteogenic sarcoma by elective radical irradiation are reviewed. Five of the nine patients have survived for from three to fourteen years, but one patient has metastases.
2. These results are compared with those from primary amputation.
3. The importance of histological grading in prognosis is emphasised.
4. It is concluded that radical irradiation should be considered in place of primary amputation for osteogenic sarcoma in the upper limb.
