Amputation and Chemotherapy for Osteosarcoma

Cancer research · Osteosarcoma

Amputation followed by chemotherapy is the standard of care for canine osteosarcoma.

This prospective cohort study enrolls dogs with confirmed osteosarcoma who are receiving standard amputation followed by chemotherapy, monitoring for metastasis through serial chest radiographs and bloodwork. The study follows patients until the onset of metastasis, providing baseline data on disease progression and outcomes under the current standard of care.

Accurate baseline survival and metastasis rates in dogs treated with amputation and chemotherapy will allow comparison with emerging therapies, improving prognostic information and guiding clinical decision‑making.
