The relationship between marital status and survival in primary bone cancer: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Previous studies have demonstrated a significant impact of marital status on the prognosis of various cancers; however, its specific influence on the prognosis of primary bone cancer remains insufficiently investigated.
