Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary malignant bone tumor in children and young adults. Development of clinically useful biomarkers has the potential to improve treatments. The aim of this review was to investigate the recent literature assessing the utility of biomarkers for osteosarcoma. A detailed literature search was performed, with hand searches for related research publications. The search was limited to publications in English between January 2007 and February 2017. Of 286 studies identified, 24 met the inclusion criteria. There is a wide range of osteosarcoma biomarkers identified which act as clinical prognostic factors in patient outcome.

Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone tumor originating from mesenchymal tissue. Recent studies have found that the tumor inflammatory microenvironment plays an important role in promoting the malignant characteristics and metastatic potential of malignant tumors. Pyroptosis, an inflammatory programmed cell death, elicits immune responses that exhibit anti-tumor effects through released factors and contents.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant bone tumor affecting adolescents and young adults and it usually occurs in the long bones of the extremities. The detection of cancer-related genetic alterations has a growing effect in guiding diagnosis, prognosis and targeted therapies. However, little is known about the molecular aspects involved in the etiology and progression of OS, which limits options for targeted therapies.

Secretion of beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) is a rare, recently recognised paraneoplastic syndrome. Herein, we present a case of a woman in her 30s with right femur conventional high-grade osteosarcoma and a positive screening urine pregnancy test. Subsequent workup failed to reveal an intrauterine or extrauterine pregnancy.

Feline primary bone tumors are rare. Still, osteosarcoma (OSA) composes almost 80 % of malignant bone tumors in cats, affecting mostly elder feline individuals. Many differences are observed between canine and feline OSA regarding radiographic image and tumoral behavior, especially metastasis development.
