|
major sites of origin of osteosarcoma?
|
Major sites of Origin – note large percentage near the knee.
|
|
Genetics in osteosarcomas:
|
Frequent mutations of 2 genes – RB and p53
Patients with germline mutations of RB have 1000 fold increase in incidence of osteosarcoma Patients with germline mutation of p53 (Li-Fraumeni syndrome) also susceptible For the dog lovers – high incidence in large dogs. This together with the fact that most lesions are associated with growth plates may suggest that normal proliferation of osteoblasts may lead to mutations in some individuals. |
|
|
*Osteosarcoma
*Grossly, gritty gray-white, areas of hemorrhage, sometimes cystic degeneration. Can destroy cortex and extend into soft tissue. |
|
|
CLASSIC Osteosarcoma (osteoid in upper right)
Malignant tumor cells producing bone (osteoid). Contrast these malignant cells with the benign cells of osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma. In some cases malignant cartilage is also produced. The tumor is then called a chondroblastic osteosarcoma. |
|
prognosis and treatment of osteosarcoma:
|
*Metastases occur – mostly to the lung (20% at diagnosis) but also to other bone and elsewhere including brain.
*Until the past few decades osteosarcoma was treated by amputation. Presently, a diagnosis is made and the patient is treated with chemotherapy followed by limb-sparing surgery. In the past amputation era, 5-yr survival was 10-20%. Now, cure rates are reported to be up to 80-90%. |
|
Cartilage-Forming Tumors:
|
