One of the results of this working group was the joint publication of the malignant fibrous histiocytomas from the case collections of the Soviet Union , Hungary , Czechoslovakia and the German Democratic Republic under the main leadership of Matějovský, Dominok and Prof. Solowjew (Moscow). At the meetings of the working group, Matejovski reported regularly on the bone tumor meetings in Western Europe and the United States , in which he participated with his own lectures.
