Disease progression (DP) of osteosarcomas, albeit with aggressive treatments, hinders improving survival. The DP patterns are unique in low- and middle-income countries like South Africa. We determine the prognostic factors associated with disease progression (DP) of the appendicular skeleton's central high-grade conventional osteosarcoma (COS).
This is a retrospective study of 77 patients, with a minimum 3-year follow-up period diagnosed with histological biopsy-confirmed COS. Descriptive statistics, Cox proportional regression modelling, and the Kaplan-Meier method were employed for the analysis.
DP occurred in 75 % of patients (58/77), either as a local progression - LP 32 % (25/77), systemic progression - SP 61 % (47/77) or both 32 % (24/77). In the univariate analysis, the factors associated with DP were proximal humerus tumor site (hazard ratio [HR] 2.48; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.02 to 6.04; p < 0.046), metastasis at diagnosis (HR 1.91; 95 % CI, 1.10 to 3.32; p < 0.022), multiple metastatic lesions (HR 2.58; 95 % CI, 1.13 to 5.88; p < 0.024), curative treatment (HR 0.33; 95 % CI 0.17 to 0.62; p < 0.001), palliative treatment (HR 2.17; 95 % CI 1.24 to 3.78; p < 0.007), and wide surgical resection (HR 0.48, 95 % CI 0.27 to 0.86; p < 0.013). On multivariate analysis, only age >19 years was an independent risk factor (HR 1.04; 95 % CI 1.00 to 1.08; p < 0.034). The median survival time was 24 months, with an overall survival (OS) of 57.1 % at 3 years. The projected Kaplan- Meier 5-year OS rate was 29.78 %, with a progression-free survival (PFS) rate of 10.28 % (HR 0.76; 95 % CI 0.52 to 1.112; p < 0.128).
In this series of central high-grade conventional osteosarcoma of the appendicular skeleton from South Africa, we observed a uniquely high proportion of disease progression (DP). Age >19, metastatic disease, and no chemotherapy response yielded poor outcomes; in contrast, wide surgical resection is beneficial. Further elucidation is needed at a larger scale in this region.

骨肉瘤的疾病进展(DP),尽管采用了积极的治疗方法,但仍阻碍了生存率的提高。在南非等低收入和中等收入国家,DP模式独具特色。我们确定与四肢骨骼中央高级别传统骨肉瘤(COS)疾病进展(DP)相关的预后因素。
这是一项对77例患者的回顾性研究,这些患者经组织学活检确诊为COS,且随访期至少为3年。采用描述性统计、Cox比例回归模型和Kaplan-Meier方法进行分析。
75%的患者(58/77)出现DP,表现为局部进展-LP 32%(25/77)、全身进展-SP 61%(47/77)或两者皆有32%(24/77)。在单因素分析中,与DP相关的因素包括肱骨近端肿瘤部位(风险比[HR] 2.48;95%置信区间[CI],1.02至6.04;p < 0.046)、诊断时转移(HR 1.91;95% CI,1.10至3.32;p < 0.022)、多个转移病灶(HR 2.58;95% CI,1.13至5.88;p < 0.024)、根治性治疗(HR 0.33;95% CI 0.17至0.62;p < 0.001)、姑息性治疗(HR 2.17;95% CI 1.24至3.78;p < 0.007)以及广泛手术切除(HR 0.48,95% CI 0.27至0.86;p < 0.013)。在多因素分析中,只有年龄>19岁是独立危险因素(HR 1.04;95% CI 1.00至1.08;p < 0.034)。中位生存时间为24个月,3年总生存率(OS)为57.1%。预计的Kaplan-Meier 5年OS率为29.78%,无进展生存率(PFS)为10.28%(HR 0.76;95% CI 0.52至1.112;p < 0.128)。
在这一系列来自南非的四肢骨骼中央高级别传统骨肉瘤中,我们观察到疾病进展(DP)的比例特别高。年龄>19岁、转移性疾病以及无化疗反应导致预后不良;相反,广泛手术切除有益。该地区需要更大规模的进一步阐明。
