Abstract
Background
Osteosarcoma frequently metastasizes to the lungs. The role of surgical intervention in patients with isolated pulmonary metastases and early-stage primary tumors (T1-T2) remains unclear.
Methods
Data from the SEER database were used to identify osteosarcoma patients diagnosed with T1-T2 stage disease and isolated lung metastases. Patients were categorized based on whether they underwent surgery for the primary tumor. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to reduce baseline differences.
Results
Before PSM, surgery was associated with significantly improved overall survival (OS) (median OS: 19.0 vs 7.0 months, P < 0.001). After PSM, a trend toward better OS persisted (median OS: 13.0 vs 9.0 months, P = 0.253), though not statistically significant. Surgery was also associated with lower cancer-related death rates both before and after PSM.
Conclusions
Surgical resection of the primary tumor may confer a survival benefit in T1-T2 osteosarcoma patients with isolated pulmonary metastases. These findings support the continued evaluation of surgical strategies in metastatic osteosarcoma and underscore the need for prospective validation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Bone Oncology is a peer-reviewed international journal aimed at presenting basic, translational and clinical high-quality research related to bone and cancer.
As the first journal dedicated to cancer induced bone diseases, JBO welcomes original research articles, review articles, editorials and opinion pieces. Case reports will only be considered in exceptional circumstances and only when accompanied by a comprehensive review of the subject.
The areas covered by the journal include:
Bone metastases (pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnostics, clinical features, prevention, treatment)
Preclinical models of metastasis
Bone microenvironment in cancer (stem cell, bone cell and cancer interactions)
Bone targeted therapy (pharmacology, therapeutic targets, drug development, clinical trials, side-effects, outcome research, health economics)
Cancer treatment induced bone loss (epidemiology, pathophysiology, prevention and management)
Bone imaging (clinical and animal, skeletal interventional radiology)
Bone biomarkers (clinical and translational applications)
Radiotherapy and radio-isotopes
Skeletal complications
Bone pain (mechanisms and management)
Orthopaedic cancer surgery
Primary bone tumours
Clinical guidelines
Multidisciplinary care
