July is Sarcoma and Bone Cancer Awareness Month, and various global activities are aiming to highlight and increase the awareness of sarcoma and bone cancer for research support and development. We would like to take this opportunity to extend our appreciation to all the researchers who have contributed to the fight against this disease. In particular, we would like to share some of the high-quality and innovative research findings in the field of sarcoma and bone cancer, which were published in Cancers (ISSN: 2072-6694). We hope this announcement will provide useful information for this field.
