Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a bone-forming cancer predominantly found in children and adolescents more often than in adults. Osteosarcoma of the gnathic apparatus is relatively rare in the young population, and this condition becomes a concern of clinical dentists for predominantly the middle-aged and aging patient groups. Osteosarcomas are invaded by lymphocytes, which exhibit signs of activation. The immune processes that are engaged within the malignant bone matrix involve the production of cytokines, which regulate the process of apoptotic programmed cell death. This paper discusses the mechanisms by which apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells is modulated by the neuroendocrine-immune system, and potential physiological implications.
