Risk and clinicopathological features of osteosarcoma metastasis to the lung: A population-based study

ConclusionsAdvanced age (older than 30 years) and large tumors were related to a higher risk of lung metastases in osteosarcoma patients. Therefore, patients who were diagnosed at advanced age or had large tumors should receive comprehensive chest CT scans. Surgery and chemotherapy can significantly improve the survival of metastatic patients, while radiotherapy did not improve survival in these patients.
