Prognosis
- Prognosis is separated into three groups.
- Stage I osteosarcoma is rare and includes parosteal osteosarcoma or low-grade central osteosarcoma. It has an excellent prognosis (>90%) with wide resection.
- Stage IIb prognosis depends on the site of the tumor (proximal tibia, femur, pelvis, etc.) size of the tumor mass (in cm.), the degree of necrosis from neoadjuvant chemotherapy (beforeoperation chemotherapy), and pathological factors like the degree of p-glycoprotein, whether your tumor is cxcr4-positive.[1] Her2-positive as these can lead to distant metastases to the lung. Longer time to metastases, more than 12 months or 24 months and the number of metastases and resectability of them lead to the best prognosis with metastatic osteosarcoma. It is better to have fewer metastases than longer time to metastases. Those with a longer length of time(>24months) and few nodules (2 or fewer) have the best prognosis with a 2-year survival after the metastases of 50% 5-year of 40% and 10 year 20%. If metastases are both local and regional the prognosis is different unfortunately.
- Initial Presentation of stage III osteosarcoma with lung metastates depends on the resectability of the primary tumor and lung nodules, degree of necrosis of the primary tumor, and maybe the number of metastases. Overall prognosis is 30% or greater depending.
