Unfortunately, improvements in
osteosarcoma management that are routine in the developed world are still not common in developing countries, because of limitations in human resources and lack of equipment and access to new and more effective chemotherapy regimens.

"While
osteosarcoma (OS) is rare in children, it is all too common in many dog breeds, which makes it a prime candidate for the kind of comparative cancer biology studies that could enhance drug development for both children and our canine friends," said Will Hendricks, one of the study's senior authors.
This study is aimed to investigate the effect of the cross-talk between
Osteosarcoma (OS) and BM-MSCs in both hypoxic and normoxic conditions.
