TLDR
Osteosarcoma, which is the most common primary bone tumor, occurs most frequently in adolescents, but there is a second incidence peak among individuals aged >60 years, and direct comparisons among patients of all ages and ethnicities are not available.Abstract:
Background
Osteosarcoma, the most common primary bone tumor, occurs most frequently in adolescents, but a second incidence peak among individuals over age 60 exists. Most osteosarcoma epidemiology studies have been embedded in large analyses of all bone tumors, or focused on cases occurring in adolescence. Detailed descriptions of osteosarcoma incidence and survival specifically, with direct comparisons among subjects of all ages and ethnicities, are not available.read more

International osteosarcoma incidence patterns in children and adolescents, middle ages and elderly persons
TL;DR: Overall, worldwide osteosarcoma incidence rates were quite similar in the younger age groups, but the greatest variation in incidence rates was observed in the elderly.

Current and future therapeutic approaches for osteosarcoma
TL;DR: There remains a great deal of interest in utilizing the very high risk population of recurrent osteosarcoma patients to rapidly and sequentially evaluate novel agents to determine if any of these agents hold promise.

TL;DR: Modern multi-agent chemotherapy has resulted in the greatest improvement in overall survival to date, and it is very likely that future improvements in survival will arise from combination-targeted chemotherapy in addition to conventional treatment.

TL;DR: While KS is a rare cancer, it has a relatively good prognosis and so the number of people affected by it is quite large, and provides a notable example of the importance of networking in diagnosis, therapy and research for rare cancers.

TL;DR: Meta-analysis in patients with localised high-grade osteosarcoma shows that 3-drug regimens, for example MAP are the most efficacious drug regimens and Salvage of poor responders by changing drugs, or intensifying treatment postoperatively has not proven to be useful.
