Deficiencies in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Metastatic Osteosarcoma: A Chinese Multidisciplinary Survey

Osteosarcoma is the most frequent primary cancer of bone. The incidence is higher in adolescents. Large improvement, though, has been made in the treatment of osteosarcoma under the framework of multidisciplinary team, an important prognostic factor for osteosarcoma is pulmonary metastasis.

Summary:Osteosarcoma is the most frequent primary cancer of bone. The incidence is higher in adolescents. Large improvement, though, has been made in the treatment of osteosarcoma under the framework of multidisciplinary team, an important prognostic factor for osteosarcoma is pulmonary metastasis. Surgical resection of lung metastases is widely accepted as the optimal modality in osteosarcoma patients. Undoubtedly, surgical resection of lung metastases is widely accepted as the optimal modality in osteosarcoma patients. However, since current conceptions within the surgical approach to lung metastasectomy involve multidisciplinary collaboration, which are highly variable,there is not neither consensus nor standardized practice patterns. We conduct a survey aiming to reveal areas of consistency in current clinical practice on lung metastasectomy among Chinese osteosarcoma high volume centers. A questionnaire survey specific to the nationwide high volume centers of osteosarcoma was conducted from September 2015 to Nov
