To the editor:

Osteosarcoma is a bone cancer that annually strikes about 400 U.S. children. Treatment often begins with limb amputation. Chemotherapy, with severe side effects such as hair loss, nausea and pain, typically follows. For decades, the same drugs have been used, with low survival rates.
