Clinical Significance Of Indeterminate Pulmonary Nodules On The Survival Of 364 Patients With Nonmetastatic, High-Grade, Localized Osteosarcoma: A 12-Year Retrospective Cohort Study
JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY(2021)
摘要
Background and Objectives We investigated the clinical significance of indeterminate pulmonary nodules (IPNs) in patients diagnosed with nonmetastatic, high-grade localized osteosarcoma.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 364 patients with nonmetastatic, high-grade localized osteosarcoma. Based on pulmonary computed tomography findings at presentation, the patients were categorized into the no-nodules and the IPNs group and were further categorized into subgroups based on age (<18 and >= 18 years). We performed an intergroup comparison of event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS).Results At presentation, 276 (75.8%) patients showed no nodules, and 88 (24.2%) patients showed IPNs. The EFS and OS were similar between adults with IPNs (n = 54 [30.5%]) and without nodules (n = 123 [69.5%]) (p = .200 and p = .609, respectively). No significant intergroup difference in OS was observed in pediatric patients (p = .093). However, pediatric patients with IPNs (n = 34 [18.2%]) had poorer EFS than those without nodules (n = 153 [81.8%]) (p = .016). Multivariate analyses confirmed that IPNs were independently associated with poorer EFS in pediatric patients (hazard ratio 1.788, 95% confidence interval 1.092-2.926, p = .021).Conclusions This study showed that IPNs at presentation did not affect the survival of adults with nonmetastatic, high-grade localized osteosarcoma but were associated with poorer EFS in pediatric patients.
