Prof. Tu Chongqi noted, as a rare disease, the incidence of bone and soft tissue tumors is increasing year by year. The diagnosis and treatment of bone and soft tissue tumors in Sichuan started late, and both the professional physicians and standardized treatment plan are scarce here.

The Special Committee on Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors aims to establish a professional academic exchange platform, gather medical resources in the province, strengthen academic exchanges and discussions on rare diseases, promote standardized diagnosis and treatment of bone and soft tissue tumors, and provide patients with better medical services for the benefit of people's livelihood.
