title: [Role of the pathologist in the treatment of osteosarcoma].
abstract: We describe the pathological method for the study of osteosarcoma surgical specimens treated by chemotherapy according to Rosen and Huvos. The aims of this method are to assess the extent and the histological viability of each tumor after chemotherapy. The borderline between good and bad response is about 5% viable tumor cells. This histological response determines postoperative chemotherapy.
