OSTEOSARCOMA

Definition Epidemiology Pathogenesis Classification Skeletal distribution Clinical presentation Evaluation Management Prognosis

Primary Malignant tumour of bone Origin : Mesenchymal cells Formation of osteoid or bone by tumour cells Site :metaphysis

2nd most common primary malignant bone tumour 20% of all primary bone malignancies Global incidence : 1-5 per million/year All age gps, bimodal distribution Slightly more common in males(1.6 :1)

70%-acquired genetic mutations Germline mutations in RB gene (1000 fold increased risk !) Li-Fraumeni syndrome (p53) p16, p14.

BASED ON CLINICAL SETTING

SITE OF ORIGIN

HISTOLOGY

PRIMARY
Commoner 15-25 age No premalignant

SECONDARY
Older age gp Premalignant lesions : Pagets disease, fibrous dysplasia,

lesion
More malignant

multiple enchondromatosis,
Prior irradiation, Multiple osteochondromas

SITE OF ORIGIN INTRA MEDULLARY INTRA CORTICAL

SURFACE

PAROSTEAL

PERIOSTEAL

BASED ON HISTOLOGY: Osteoblastic Chondroblastic Fibroblastic, Telangiectatic/Osteolytic Small cell Giant cell

WORST PROGNOSIS

Age : 15-25 Site Gross appearance Histology

PAIN SWELLING(metaphysis) Pathological fractures Skin : shiny, prominent veins Warm & tender Margins : not well defined Movements of adj joint restricted Compression symptoms Regional LN REACTIVE METASTASIS : BLOOD : LUNGS

RADIOLOGICAL EXAMINATION 1.Irregular destruction,new bone fmn 2.Periosteal reaction 3.Extension to the marrow or soft tissue 4.Codmans triangle 5.Sunburst Effect

Sunburst Appearance

Serum Alkaline Phosphatase


No diagnostic significance

Follow up
Rise after initial fall :

recurrence/metastasis

Biopsy
To Confirm the diagnosis

Evaluation of spread of tumour


Extent of involvement of affected bone
Bone scan intramedullary spread CT,MRI- soft tissue spread

Metastasis : MC : LUNG WHY EXTENT OF INVOLVEMENT IS IMPORTANT?

ROLE OF RADIOTHERAPY Surgically inaccessible sites Patients who refuse surgery

ROLE OF CHEMOTHERAPY PRE AND POST OPERATIVE METHOTREXATE LEUCOVORIN CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE CISPLATIN

NEW CONCEPT

PORTION OF TUMOR
IMPLANTED INTO SARCOMA SURVIVOR REMOVED AFTER 14 DAYS + SENSITISED LYMPHOCYTES

INFUSED INTO PATIENT,SELECTIVELY KILL THE CANCER CELLS

Without treatment : death in 2 yrs 5 yr survival with surgery alone : 20% 5 yr survival with surgery & CT : 70 %
WORST PROGNOSIS : TELANGIECTATIC/OSTEOLYTIC TYPE BETTER PROGNOSIS : PAROSTEAL
