Pediatric osteosarcoma: An updated review

Abstract: Osteosarcoma (OS), the most common type of primary malignant bone tumor, is defined by the presence of malignant mesenchymal cells producing osteoid or immature bone. The peak incidence of the most frequent type of OS, i.e., high-grade central OS, occurs in the second decade of life during the adolescent growth spurt. Most patients suffer from the pain and swelling in the involved region and, usually, seek medical attention. Diagnosis is carried out by conventional radiographs, computed tomography, and magneti… Show more

“…Osteosarcomas are the most common primary bone malignant tumors, which mainly affects children and adolescents. 1 Chemotherapy has significantly improved the 5-year overall survival of osteosarcoma patients from less than 30% to over 60%. 2 However, the long-term overall survival of patients following metastasis remains less than 20%.…”

“…OS develops rapidly and is prone to recurrence and metastasis [3]. OS takes up about 5% of pediatric tumors, and most patients die within a year of diagnosis [4,5]. Although the emergence of neoadjuvant chemotherapy greatly improves the 5-year survival rate of OS patients, the recurrence rate of OS is still high [6].…”
