2. Introduction
• Derived from primitive bone forming
mesenchyme & characterized by production
of osteoid tissue or immature bone by
malignant proliferating spindle cell stroma
• 2nd m.c primary malig. tumor of bone
• 20% of primary malig. of bone
• Incidence 1 – 3 / million per year
• 61% - 10 – 20 yrs age
• M : F – 1.6 : 1
5. Pathology
• Gross pathology
i. large tumor with
destruction of cortex
ii. Variable consistency
iii. 90% exhibit –
codman’s triangle,
sunburst app, etc
6. Histology
• Histologic sub types
i. Fibroblastic
ii. Chondroblastic
iii. Osteoblastic
iv. Telengiectactic
v. small cell
7. Classification
A. CENTRAL
1. Primary or idiopathic
2. Secondary
B. JUXTA – CORTICAL
i. Paraosteal
ii. Periosteal
iii. High grade surface
iv. Dedifferentiated paraosteal
19. SURGERY
• Amputation
• Limb salvage procedures
GUIDELINES FOR LIMB – SPARING RESECTION
i. No major neurovascular involvement
ii. Wide resection with normal mucsle cuff
iii. EN bloc removal of biopsy sites
iv. Resection 3-4cm beyond uptake
v. Adj. jt resection
vi. Adequate motor reconstruction
20. Limb salvage surgery
Rx by anatomical site
• Distal femur
• Proximal tibia
• Proximal humerus
• scapula
21. Surgery – contd…
• Pelvis & proximal femur
- Hemipelvectomy
• Surgical Rx of mets
• Expandable prothesis in children
22. First line therapy (Primary/Neoadjuvant/Adjuvant )
- Cisplatin and doxorubicin/Dactinomycin
- MAP (High-dose methotrexate, cisplatin, and doxorubicin)
- Doxorubicin, cisplatin, ifosfamide and HDMTX( T-20)
- Ifosfamide and etoposide
- Ifosfamide, cisplatin and epirubicin
Second line therapy (Relapsed or Refractory disease)
- Docetaxel and gemcitabine
- Cyclophosphamide and etoposide
- Ifosfamide and etoposide
- Ifosfamide, carboplatin and etoposide
- HDMTX, etoposide and ifosfamide
- Samarium-153 ethylene diamine tetramethylene phosphonate
Current systemic therapy NCCN 2011
24. Restaging after Neo adj CT
• Clinical evaluation
• Plain radiography
• Angiography
• CT scan
• Bone scintigraphy
• MRI
• PET
25. Radiotherapy in Osteosarcoma
Indications:
- Complete surgical resection not feasible
- Inadequate surgical margins
- Osteosarcoma of the head and neck with positive or
uncertain resection margins
- Axial skeleton
- Pelvis
- Palliation of metastatic bony sarcomas
- Adjuvant whole lung irradiation
26. RT Treatment Planning and dose
Guidelines to optimal RT
- Evaluation of extent
- Patient immobilization
- Planned using CT simulation
- reproducible position
- Multiple beam-shaping
devices
- 3D CRT / IMRT
Target volume
• Large volume fields
• Areas to be resected +
approx. 2cm margin
• Shrinking field technique
• Use of extended SSD
• Parallel opp. Portal
27. RT doses
• POST OP RT
- 50 – 65 Gy in 25 – 33 # over 5 – 7 wks
( radical)
- 40 – 55 Gy in 20 – 28 # over 4 – 5 wks (doubful
surgical margins)
• PRE OP RT
- 35 Gy in 10 # or 25 Gy in 5 #
• PALLIATIVE RT
- locally advanced 30 – 35 Gy in 10 – 15 # in
2 -3 wks
- large bleeding lesions 8 – 10 Gy single #
29. Treatment complications
• SURGERY
- infection
- fracture
- non union
- joint instability
- late osteoarthritis
- endoprosthetic loosening
- dislocation
30. Future outlook
- Targeted molecular therapies and newer Novel
agents
- Minimally invasive approaches
- More durable modular oncology prosthesis
31. Conclusion
Osteosarcoma is a tumor with highly aggressive
metastasizing potential
Peak incidence between 10 and 19 years of age
80% to 90% of osteosarcomas occur in the long
tubular bones
80–90% seemingly localized disease will develop
metastases, mostly in the lungs
Neo adjuvant and Adjuvant CT along with Limb
salvage surgery play a central role .
