ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The study examines the characteristics and outcomes of foot-originating malignant bone tumors via Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database analysis.METHODS:
A retrospective review of 14,695 malignant bone tumor cases from 2000 to 2019 was conducted.RESULTS:
Of the eligible cases, 147 (2.3 %) were foot-origin tumors, typically smaller and more commonly treated with surgery than those in other locations. These tumors were more frequently treated with surgical resection, with a higher proportion undergoing amputation. In contrast, foot-origin tumors were less often managed with chemotherapy and radiation. Foot-origin tumors exhibited higher survival rates compared to non-foot-origin tumors as shown in univariate analysis, although multivariate analysis did not reflect significant differences.CONCLUSION:
Foot-originating malignant bone tumors tend to be smaller and are frequently surgically treated, correlating with favorable survival outcomes. These findings point to early detection as a potential factor in the improved survival rates, not necessarily the tumor's origin.
