The treatment of pulmonary metastases in osteosarcoma. Preliminary observations on 30 cases

Thirty cases of pulmonary metastases in osteosarcoma are analysed from the point of view of evaluating the indications for localised excision, and also to report the results obtained. This group is compared with 42 analogous cases in which the metastases were not treated surgically. The results of pulmonary surgery is shown to be effective in the multidisciplinary treatment of osteosarcoma with pulmonary metastases.
