Osteosarcoma, Classic: Follow-up
Updated: Dec 4, 2008
Intervention
Treatment is primarily surgical; limb salvage is undertaken when possible. Presurgical chemotherapy is used. The response to chemotherapy is assessed in the resected specimen or by means of preresection biopsy. The response is considered good when tumor necrosis is more than 90%. This is a predictor of successful outcome.16
