abstract = "Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy in the United States, comprising approximately 56% of the primary bone tumors.1,2 Most patients present with local disease; their treatment is outlined in greater detail elsewhere in this book. However, 10-20% of patients diagnosed with osteosarcoma will have radiographic evidence of synchronous isolated pulmonary metastases at the time of initial presentation. Of the patients without synchronous pulmonary metastases, 40-55% will develop metachronous pulmonary metastases.3-5",
