Proximal Radial and Distal Humeral Osteosarcoma in 12 Dogs

From the Animal Cancer Center, College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80523.

Twelve dogs were diagnosed with osteosarcoma of the proximal radius or distal humerus from 1990 to 2002, representing 1.0% of all dogs diagnosed with appendicular osteosarcoma. The median body weight (29.8 kg) was significantly less than that of dogs with appendicular osteosarcoma at other sites. Ten dogs were treated with amputation and chemotherapy. These dogs had a metastatic rate of 60%, a median metastasis-free interval of 356 days, and a median survival time of 824 days. There were no significant differences in metastasis-free interval or survival time between dogs with osteosarcoma of the proximal radius or distal humerus and dogs with appendicular osteosarcoma at other sites.
