Summary
Surgery for early-stage osteosarcoma with lung metastasis may improve survival. While not statistically significant after matching, surgical resection of the primary tumor showed a trend toward better outcomes and lower cancer death rates.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Surgical Oncology
- Cancer Metastasis
Background:
- Osteosarcoma commonly metastasizes to the lungs.
- The benefit of surgery for primary tumors in patients with isolated pulmonary metastases and early-stage disease is uncertain.
