In the past 20 years, it has been demonstrated that the combination of surgery and chemotherapy improves the prognosis for patients with osteosarcoma of the extremity without detectable metastases at presentation. By contrast, the efficacy of chemotherapy coupled with aggressive surgery has not yet been well established for patients with metastatic disease at diagnosis. The current study evaluates the efficacy of chemotherapy associated with simultaneous surgery of primary and metastatic lesions in patients presenting with osteosarcoma of the extremity with lung metastases.
