摘要: Among primary bone malignancies, osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common
form causing morbidity and mortality in both adults and children. The interesting point
about this malignancy is that nearly 10-20% of its newly diagnosed cases have developed
metastasis. This adds up to the fact that the survival rate of both metastatic and non-metastatic
patients of osteosarcoma has not changed in the past 30 years; therefore, it has
been suggested that we need to revise our therapeutic options for OS. In recent years, diverse
signaling pathways have drawn the attention of the scientific community since they
can be great candidates for treating complicated diseases, such as cancer. In this review,
we have tried to explain the pathophysiology of osteosarcoma with the help of different
signaling pathways taking part in its initiation/progression and explore how this pathway
can be targeted for providing more efficient methods.
