Recent papers

  1. Enhancing Osteosarcoma Survival Predictions: A Comparative Study of a Multicomponent-Model Machine Learning Approach Integrating SEER and NCDB Data Sets Versus Conventional Single-Data-Set Modeling.

    Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American) · Sep 16 2026 · PubMed

    Multicomponent machine learning approach using multiple registries improves osteosarcoma survival prediction accuracy across diverse populations versus single data-set models.

  2. The Area Deprivation Index Identifies Survival Disparities in Osteosarcoma When Other Social Determinants of Health Do Not.

    Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research · Sep 09 2026 · PubMed

    In pediatric osteosarcoma patients, the Area Deprivation Index—unlike other social determinants of health measures—identified significant disparities in presentation delay, local recurrence, and overall survival.

  3. Pulsed electromagnetic fields induce ferroptosis in osteosarcoma cells and promote osteogenic differentiation.

    Journal of Bone Oncology · Sep 05 2026 · PubMed

    In cell and mouse models, pulsed electromagnetic fields killed osteosarcoma cells via ferroptosis while promoting normal bone healing, suggesting a noninvasive adjuvant therapy after tumor resection.

  4. Integrative machine learning and multi-omics identify a centromere gene signature and validate B3GALT4 as a tumor suppressor in osteosarcoma.

    Journal of Bone Oncology · Aug 2026 · PubMed

    A machine-learning-derived centromere gene signature predicts osteosarcoma prognosis and immune microenvironment status, while B3GALT4 was validated as a tumor suppressor that inhibits osteosarcoma cell proliferation and migration.

  5. Single-cell fixed RNA profiling of the osteosarcoma clinical Spectrum identifies ADAMTS12 and RNASE1 as key drivers of the metastatic niche.

    Journal of Bone Oncology · Aug 2026 · PubMed

    Single-cell transcriptomics identifies ADAMTS12 and RNASE1 as key drivers of osteosarcoma metastatic progression through malignant and immune cell signaling networks.

  6. LL-37 inhibits osteosarcoma progression by suppressing SQLE-mediated cholesterol synthesis via the PTEN/AKT/mTOR pathway.

    Journal of Bone Oncology · Aug 2026 · PubMed

    LL-37 peptide inhibits osteosarcoma through PTEN/AKT/mTOR pathway targeting cholesterol synthesis, offering promising therapeutic potential.

  7. Lapatinib induces ferroptosis in osteosarcoma via the SLC1A5-GPX4 axis.

    Journal of Bone Oncology · Aug 2026 · PubMed

    Lapatinib induces ferroptosis in osteosarcoma via the SLC1A5-GPX4 axis in lab and mouse models, providing preclinical rationale for drug repurposing.

  8. Fertility Outcomes in 104 Consecutive Pediatric and Young Adult High-Grade Osteosarcoma Survivors Followed Over a 45-Year Period.

    Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons · Jul 01 2026 · PubMed

    Pediatric and young adult osteosarcoma survivors have high natural fertility rates comparable to the general population, reassuring patients and families during treatment counseling.

  9. Development and validation of a biopsy-based model using tumor-associated neutrophils to predict neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in osteosarcoma: a large single-center retrospective cohort study.

    Journal of Bone Oncology · Jun 2026 · PubMed

    Higher tumor-associated neutrophil density predicts poor neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in osteosarcoma; biopsy-based model enables early risk stratification.

  10. Age-related real-world treatment patterns and outcomes of localised, high-grade osteosarcoma.

    Journal of Bone Oncology · Jun 2026 · PubMed

    Wide resection plus perioperative chemotherapy improves osteosarcoma survival at all ages; for patients over 40, guideline-concordant treatment remains the standard regardless of chemotherapy sequencing.

Landmark papers

  1. A Meta-Analysis of Osteosarcoma Outcomes in the Modern Medical Era

    Sarcoma · 2012 · cited 406 times · PubMed

    Osteosarcoma survival plateaued since 1980 despite improved limb salvage rates; new systemic strategies needed to advance outcomes for this lethal malignancy.

  2. The Molecular Pathogenesis of Osteosarcoma: A Review

    Sarcoma · 2011 · cited 350 times · PubMed

    This 2011 review outlines the molecular pathogenesis of osteosarcoma and emerging translational research aimed at identifying targeted therapies to improve outcomes beyond current anatomically based staging and treatment.

  3. Using Epidemiology and Genomics to Understand Osteosarcoma Etiology

    Sarcoma · 2011 · cited 323 times · PubMed

    This review discusses osteosarcoma's poorly understood etiology, examining epidemiologic risk factors (Paget disease, radiation, height) and emerging genomic associations without identifying a strong environmental cause.

  4. The Genetics of Osteosarcoma

    Sarcoma · 2012 · cited 254 times · PubMed

    Osteosarcoma has a complex, heterogeneous genomic landscape with recurrent copy number alterations but no definitive oncogene or tumor suppressor target yet identified for therapeutic exploitation.

  5. Risk and clinicopathological features of osteosarcoma metastasis to the lung: A population-based study

    Journal of Bone Oncology · 2019 · cited 145 times · PubMed

    In osteosarcoma, older age (>30) and larger tumors raised lung metastasis risk; surgery and chemotherapy improved survival while radiotherapy did not.
