Clinical Prognostic Factors and Outcome in Pediatric Osteosarcoma: Effect of Delay in Local Control and Degree of Necrosis in a Multidisciplinary Setting in Lebanon

Abstract

Treatment of pediatric osteosarcoma in a multidisciplinary cancer center in Lebanon resulted in survival similar to that in developed countries. Delay in local control was associated with worse outcome. The only statistically significant inferior outcome predictor was poor degree of necrosis at the time of local control.
