Retrospective cohort study highlights factors contributing to treatment delays and disparities in survival outcomes in osteosarcoma patients.

Delayed treatment initiation significantly affects disease-specific survival in osteosarcoma patients.
Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a notable reduction in 5- and 10-year disease-specific survival for those with treatment delays beyond one month.
Multivariable analysis identified older age and tumor locations as significant factors for treatment delays over one month.
Disparities were observed in treatment delays based on race/ethnicity and patient age, suggesting a need for equitable healthcare access.

Woods et al. (2025) studied this question.
