We aimed to investigate the roles of hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations and dynamic change during treatment on outcomes of patients with extremity osteosarcoma. We retrospectively analysed 133 patients with Enneking stage IIB extremity osteosarcoma who underwent standard treatments, including univariate...
