Molecular genetics of bone tumors

Bone tumours comprise a heterogenous group of benign and malignant neoplasms primarily involving the bone. They are currently classified based on the type of matrix deposited into cartilaginous tumours, bone forming tumours, fibrous tumors, giant-cell rich tumours, etc. Although histomorphology has been the basis of diagnosis of bone tumours for a long time, recent studies using advanced molecular methodologies has brought about an increased understanding of tumours and has helped in the development of diagnostic markers for some tumours.
