Some of the bones are marked with a red asterisk (*) - in these instances, the location on the bone should be specified, if possible, as follows:
If the tumor was located in the femur, fibula, humerus, radius, tibia, or ulna was it:
-
proximal (at the end of the bone that is close to the body),
-
distal (at the end of the bone that is furthest from the body),
-
or diaphysis (in the main shaft of the bone).
If the tumor was located in the scapula, was it:
-
proximal (at the top of the scapula, near the peak of the shoulder blade),
-
or distal (at the bottom of the scapula, near the head of the humerus).
