Osteosarcoma Staging

Osteosarcoma is described as either localized or metastatic.

Localized osteosarcoma

Localized osteosarcoma has not spread out of the bone where the cancer started. There may be one or more areas of cancer in the bone that can be removed during surgery.

Metastatic osteosarcoma

Metastatic osteosarcoma has spread from the bone in which the cancer began to other parts of the body. The cancer most often spreads to the lungs. It may also spread to other bones.

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. As a Stanford Health Care patient, you may have access to the latest, advanced clinical trials.

Open trials refer to studies currently accepting participants. Closed trials are not currently enrolling, but may open in the future.
