Phenol levels during intralesional curettage and local adjuvant treatment of benign and low-grade malignant bone tumours

Phenol is widely used for years as local adjuvant treatment for bone tumours. Despite its use for a long time, no information is available about the local concentration of phenol that is achieved in an individual patient, and the most sufficient and safe procedure to wash out the phenol after using it as local adjuvant.
