Abstrakt: Patients with osteosarcoma were encouraged to create artwork about their experiences of taking part in the EURAMOS 1 clinical trial. Art sessions allowed patients to express their feelings and talk openly about their condition and treatment. Each patient created artwork which reveals their experience through chemotherapy and surgery as well as their hopes for the future. Patients supported a positive focussed art activity which can help improve their quality of life during cancer treatment.
