Meyer et al. (1987) conducted a cohort in Recurrent osteosarcoma with pulmonary metastases (n=39). Prognostic factors (sex, number of nodules, completeness of resection, tumor location) was evaluated on Survival. In patients undergoing thoracotomy for pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma, sex and the number of nodules detected and resected had a statistically significant correlation with survival.
