Added text about the results of several studies that evaluated treatment options and survival outcomes for patients with periosteal osteosarcoma.
Added text to state that in a series of 431 patients, recurrences occurring less than 2 years from diagnosis were also associated with worse outcomes. Added age at initial diagnosis and presence of metastatic disease at diagnosis as prognostic factors for recurrent osteosarcoma and MFH of bone. Also added text to state that the Children's Oncology Group (COG) reported the outcomes of 431 young patients with recurrent osteosarcoma; patients with recurrences in both lung and bone had worse outcomes than did patients with recurrences in lung only (cited Spraker-Perlman et al. as reference 5 and level of evidence 3iiDiv).
Added text about the results of a COG study that reported the outcomes of patients with recurrent osteosarcoma from seven phase II trials (cited Lagmay et al. as reference 15).
