Lung metastases at the initial diagnosis of high-grade osteosarcoma: prevalence, risk factors and prognostic factors. A large population-based cohort study

Abstract: INTRODUCTIONOsteosarcoma is the most prevalent malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents. An overall annual prevalence of 0.2-3 cases per 100,000 population has been reported. 1 Despite the rarity of osteosarcoma, it remains one of the deadliest cancers during the pubertal growth spurt. Lung metastases have been reported to be one of the challenging factors associated with a poor prognosis. 2 Approximately 20% of osteosarcoma patients present with metastatic disease at the time of the initial diagnosis.… Show more
