Outcome of appendicular or scapular osteosarcoma treated by limb amputation in cats: 67 cases (1997–2018)

Abstract

Distant metastasis occurs in approximately 40% of cats with appendicular or scapular osteosarcoma after limb amputation. In addition, osteosarcoma of the humerus has a particularly high incidence of distant metastasis. Detailed follow-up is therefore necessary, even after limb amputation, especially in cases of osteosarcoma of the humerus.
