We extracted data on patient demographics (sex, age), tumor details (reason for diagnosis, tumor location, extent of disease), hospital volume and facility type, treatment, and prognosis for each patient.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Osteosarcoma showed a slight male preponderance. Although osteosarcoma associated with Paget\u2019s disease of bone was extremely rare (0.2%), the age distribution had two peaks: in the second and the seventh to eighth decades of life, suggesting the bimodal age peaks in Japan result from the increasing proportion of the elderly population. Elderly osteosarcoma cases more commonly involved the axial skeleton including the craniofacial bones, pelvis, and spine and showed a lower frequency of localized disease at presentation. Furthermore, elderly patients were less likely to undergo intensive treatment involving chemotherapy and surgery, possibly leading to poorer survival outcomes associated with advanced age.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This is the first study to analyze NCR data and provides an overview of the epidemiology, clinical features, treatment, prognosis, and significant factors affecting prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma in Japan.
