Objective:To compare outcomes between standardized and misdiagnosis and mistreatment of osteosarcoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis of patients with high-grade osteosarcoma who received appropriate surgical treatment and chemotherapy (299 cases, control group) and those who were misdiagnosed (benign or infective) and received mistreatment (23 cases, study group) between January 2009 and December 2021. Gender, age, first operation mode, recurrence time, recurrence interval, metastasis time, metastasis interval, total survival time (months), survival status in the two group and tumor site reoperation mode in the study group were statistically analyzed. Further, chi-square test was performed for comparison of the clinical between two groups. The survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier test and Log-rank test.Results:All the 322 patients were followed up. In the control group, the average follow-up time was 42 months (1-137 months), the average age was 24 years (3-80 years), male 184 cases, female 115 cases, and limb salvage rate was 85.3% (255/299). Seven patients underwent amputation, and the amputation rate was 17.7% (44/299). The recurrence rate was 8.4% (25/299), the average recurrence interval was 22.8 months (7-36 months), and the metastasis rate was 28.1% (85/299), the average metastasis time was 32.7 months (0-58 months). In the study group, the average of follow-up time was 30 months (9-117 months), the average age was 36 years (5-67 years), 17 males and 6 females. Among them, eleven patients were treated with limb salvage in the second stage, and the limb salvage rate was 47.8% (11/23). Seven patients underwent amputation, and the amputation rate was 30.4% (7/23). The recurrence rate was 26.1% (6/23), the average recurrence interval was 11 months (1-42 months), and the metastasis rate was 43.4% (10/23), the average metastasis time was 20.3 months (1-44 months). The 5-year survival rate was 50.7% in the study group and 56.1% in the control group. There was no significant difference between the two groups (χ 2=0.09, P=0.760). Conclusion:The overall prognosis of patients with high-grade osteosarcoma who receive active treatment after mistreatment is similar to that of patients with standardized treatment, but the recurrence and metastasis rate is higher, the recurrence time is earlier, and the amputation rate is higher.
Objective To investigate the relation between vasculogenic mimicry (VM) and MIG-7 in osteosarcoma, as well as their roles in the prognosis, and to establish a model for predicting the prognosis of osteosarcoma. Methods VM was identified by CD31/PAS double-staining in 156 cases of AJCC stage Ⅱ extremity osteosarcoma. Tumor samples were also immunohistochemically stained for MIG-7 to determine whether it was associated with the occurrence of VM. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify prognostic factors and a prognostic nomogram for predicting 3- and 5-year OS and MFS was constructed. C-index and calibration curves were used to verify the predictive accuracy of the model. Results The MIG-7 expression in osteosarcoma tissues was associated with VM formation, but MIG-7 expression was not associated with gender, age, AJCCⅡA/ⅡB stage, tumor location, surgical type or histological response to pre-operative chemotherapy. Survival analysis showed that MIG-7 expression, VM and pre-operative chemotherapy were identified as three independent prognostic factors. The value of C-index in nomogram was greater than 0.7. The predicted calibration curve was similar to the standard curve. Conclusion MIG-7 accelerates the progression of osteosarcoma by promoting VM formation, and may also affect prognosis through other mechanisms. The nomogram could afford accurate prognosis prediction and individualized diagnosis and treatment for osteosarcoma patients.

Objective: To examine expression patterns of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and its activated form, phosphorylated FAK (pFAK),in human osteosarcoma and to investigate the correlation of FAK expression with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis. Functional consequence of manipulating FAK protein levels was also investigated in human osteosarcoma cell lines. Methods: Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect FAK and pFAK levels in pathologically archived materials from 113 patients with primary osteosarcoma. Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate prognoses. The role of FAK in cytological behavior of MG63 and 143B human osteosarcoma cell lines was studied via the FAK protein knockdown with siRNA. Cell proliferation, migration, invasiveness, and apoptosis were assessed using cell counting kit-8, Transwell, and Annexin V/PI staining methods. Results: Both FAK and pFAK were overexpressed in osteosarcoma patients. Tumor cells exhibited cytoplasmicity and occasional membranous immunoreactivity for FAK. A total of 42 cases (37.17%) mainly showed expressed pFAK in cytoplasm of osteosarcoma cells. No overexpression staining of anti-FAK and anti-pFAK antibodies was observed in normal cancellous bone tissues or negative controls. Significant differences were observed in overall survival between FAK-/pFAK- and FAK+/pFAK- groups (P=0.016), FAK+/pFAK- and FAK+/pFAK+ groups (P=0.012), and FAK-/pFAK- and FAK+/pFAK+ groups (P<0.001). All groups showed similar metastasis-free survival. Cox proportional hazard analysis showed that FAK expression profile is an independent indicator of both overall andmetastasis-free survival. siRNA-based knockdown of FAK significantly reducedmigration and invasion of MG63 and 143B cells and affected proliferation and apoptosis in osteosarcoma cells. Conclusion: Osteosarcoma malignancies in vitro and in vivo were correlated with overexpression and phosphorylation of FAK. These findings suggest that FAK plays an important biological role in osteosarcoma carcinogenesis. This study provides a better understanding of diagnostic and prognostic relevance of FAK overexpression and phosphorylation in osteosarcoma patients. Therefore, FAK and pFAK can be used as independent predictors of overall and metastasis-free survival in osteosarcoma patients.
