Does chemotherapy combined with simultaneous resection of primary and metastatic lesions improve outcomes in patients with osteosarcoma of the extremity with lung metastases?
In patients with osteosarcoma and lung metastases, aggressive chemotherapy combined with simultaneous resection of primary and metastatic lesions can achieve continuous disease-free survival in over half of those who reach initial remission.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support multimodal resection after remission in osteosarcoma with lung metastases; leaves open whether simultaneous surgery improves outcomes versus alternatives.
Bacci et al. (1997) studied this question.
