Pulmonary Metastasis From Osteosarcoma Multi-factorial analysis of survival at first lung involvement Ali Aljubran, Martin Blackstein for the University of Toronto Musculoskeletal Oncology Group
INTRODUCTION The cure rate of non-metastatic cases has improved from 20% (Pre chemotherapy era) to 65%. Recurrence still occurs in approximately 30%. More than 80% of all relapses involve the lungs. Complete surgical resection is the only potential curative treatment. Single institute review.
PATIENTS AND METHODS Osteosarcoma patients ( ). Variables at the first lung involvement, e.g. RFI, multiplicity and laterality of lesions and size of the largest nodule are all analyzed. Peri operative chemotherapy was also analyzed. Statistical methods: Post lung metastasis survival PLMS was calculated from the date of the first lung metastasis to the date of death or last follow-up.

DISCUSSION LATEST LARGE SERIES StudyNo. of patients Conclusions/ Prognostic factors COSS Group; JCO, Jan : >18y 422 operated Median FU is 1.2 year. 3 year PRS is 29 %. Long time to relapse, unilaterality and no pleural involvement are important prognostic factors. Ferrari et al; JCO, Feb Age®: 5-47y 114 operated 3 year PRS is 33 %. RFI, size and number of lesions. No support for adjuvant chemo after complete metastectomy. Meyer et al; Cancer, Jan operated Sex and number of nodules have impact on survival. Belli et al; Cancer, Jun operated 5 year OS is 37%. Post metastectomy chemotherapy probably prevent new lung lesion. Carter et al; Thorax, Oct operated 5 year PRS is 20%. Location of lesions ( one lobe or different lobes). DFI, No. and laterality of lesions not important.
CONCLUSION This is a large series from single center that primarily includes adult patients with median follow up of 2.7 years. The 3 year PLMS is 30% which is comparable to previous large studies. Surgical resection doubled the survival at 3 years. Both Synchronous and Metachronous lung metastasis have similar survival. Lung nodules of <4, size ≤ 1cm and unilaterality are favorable prognostic factors. The use of chemotherapy with the resection did not appear to affect the survival.
