To identify stage, your pt must get whole body scan done.. Either PET CT or bone scan and Chest CT. Additionally, local site also needs to be image using MRI... Once all these is done, exact stage can be determined.. Ideally for all Osteosarcoma, chemotherapy is required initially followed by surgery
