โฆ Synopsis
Osteogenic sarcoma, excluding the paraosteal osteosarcoma, has a grave prognosis, half of the patients dying within 1 year following ablative surgery of the primary lesion. Once pulmonary metastasis is detected, most patients do not survive more than 3 years. Various attempts by investigators to prolong patient survival, including surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, and combined modalities, have met with some success. This report is a summary of 13 patients who underwent lung resections and received adjuvant chemo-and/or immunotherapy for metastatic osteogenic sarcoma in our institute in the past 7 years.

A 20-year follow-up of children who had complete resection of pulmonary metastases from osteogenic sarcoma of the extremities was undertaken. Four of six 10-year survivors survived more than 19 years even with multiple metastases and as many as nine thoracotomies. Fifty percent of the 10-year surviv
The results of surgical management of 63 cases of pulmonary metastases from bone and soft tissue sarcomas, admitted at the Istituto Nazionale Tumori of Milan, between 1970 and 1987, are reviewed in this paper. To estimate the relative impact of metastasectomy on the overall performance of treatment,
