Immunotherapy for osteosarcoma: Where do we go from here?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Previous studies of children with homozygous sickle cell anemia (SCA) show impaired growth and maturation. The correlation of this suboptimal growth with metabolic and hematological factors during puberty is poorly understood. PROCEDURE:We studied a group of pre-adolescent children with SCA (19 males, 14 fe...
