Osteosarcoma is the most common bone tumor in dogs although it is rare in cats.  The cancer is most common in large dog breeds such as the St. Bernard, Great Dane, Doberman Pinscher, Irish Setter, Golden Retriever and Rottweiler.  It commonly shows up between the age of 7 and 10 years.

Symptoms in dogs with osteosarcoma are usually painful lameness and swelling in the primary diseased area.  Occasionally, there has been a history of trauma to the affected area such as a previous fracture.  Osteosarcoma is a highly malignant tumor that can spread to any other organ, but metastasis is primarily seen in the lungs.

Conventional Treatment - A biopsy confirming a pathologic diagnosis as well as a complete set of thoracic radiographs (chest x-rays) is the suggested conventional approach before starting invasive surgery such.  Amputation of the painful limb is often an outcome and most dogs adjust to having only three limbs, particularly if it is a rear limb that has been removed.  Chemotherapy will often follow amputation in order to prevent the spread of cancer to other areas of the body, for example to the lymph nodes.
