Clinical Significance of the Radiological Relationship between the Tumor and the main blood vessels in Enneking IIB Osteosarcoma of the extremities

Conclusion: Vascular involvement according to radiological findings from pretreatment MRI is an independent risk factor for cumulative OS and EFS in patients with Enneking IIB primary osteosarcoma of the extremities. The new subtyping based on the relationship between the tumors and surrounding reactive area with the main blood vessels based on pretreatment MRI can predict the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma and provide certain directive information for selecting the appropriate surgical procedure for individual patients.
