Efficacy and safety of stereotactic radiosurgery for pulmonary metastases from osteosarcoma: Experience in 73 patients

Abstract: Osteosarcoma pulmonary metastases are typically treated with resection and/or chemotherapy. We hypothesize that stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) can be an alternative to surgery that can achieve high rates of local control with limited toxicity. From January 2005 to December 2013, 73 patients who developed pulmonary metastasis during period of adjuvant chemotherapy or follow-up were analyzed. 33 patients were treated by stereotactic radiosurgery using the body gamma-knife system. A total dose of 50 Gy was deliv… Show more

“…For lung metastases, stereotactic RT, radiofrequency ablation or cryotherapy might be used as alternative options in patients unfit for surgery [IV, B]. Some groups also consider radiofrequency ablation [52,53] and stereotactic RT [54] to be potential alternative local treatment options for primary lung or bone metastases [52][53][54].…”
