Overview
Prognosis
Pretreatment factors that influence outcome include the following:
Primary tumor site
Pelvis
- Survival rates for patients with pelvic primary tumors are 20% to 47%.
- Complete surgical resection is associated with positive outcome for osteosarcoma of the pelvis.
- Size of the primary tumor.
- Presence of clinically detectable metastatic disease.
After administration of preoperative chemotherapy, factors that influence outcome include the following:
- Surgical resectability.
- Degree of tumor necrosis.
In general, prognostic factors in osteosarcoma have not been helpful in identifying patients who might benefit from treatment intensification or who might require less therapy while maintaining an excellent outcome.
