Structured PICO

What are the prognostic factors and survival outcomes for primary osteosarcoma in adults older than 40 years?

P
Population
47 patients older than 40 years (27 men and 20 women) with primary osteosarcoma treated between 1977 and 1998 at the authors' institution.
I
Intervention
Surgical treatment (in 89%) and/or systemic treatment.
O
Outcome
Prognostic factors, 5-year disease-free survival, and overall survival rates.hard clinical

Adult patients older than 40 years with primary osteosarcoma have poor clinical outcomes, with a 5-year overall survival of 41.64%, highlighting the need for aggressive multiagent regimens.
