You inserted these links:

• Superior Survival for Treatment of Osteosarcoma
• Adriamycin, Cisplatin and Caffeine results in superior survival for osteosarcoma

You are citing scientific studies, and I would urge you to employ proper referencing. An abstract is more than "just" an external link. JFW | T@lk 1 July 2005 10:58 (UTC)

"It affects 400 children under age 15 and 500 adults between the ages of 15-30 every year." In what country or state? (U.S.?) Could someone please provide relative numbers... and mention to what state/country this applies. Phlebas 11:42, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

This is a Osteosarcoma page for Humans and not dogs or cats. Anything that references dogs and cats should be moved to a Canine Osteosarcoma page or a Feline Osteosarcoma page

Generally sections of an article are only split off into their own articles when they become too long. The title of this article is "osteosarcoma", not "osteosarcoma in humans". However, if you feel strongly about it, I can create a new article and copy and paste the dog and cat info there. The dog and cat sections need some expansion anyway. --Joelmills 22:02, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
