Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a rare malignancy, and patients with this disease benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. While cisplatin, anthracyclines and ifosfamide are the most commonly used agents in the treatment of osteosarcoma, a search for the best combination with higher efficacy and minimal toxicity continues. We planned to evaluate the efficacy of epirubicin combined with cisplatin and ifosfamide in patients with localized primary osteosarcoma. Patients with nonmetastatic extremity osteosarcoma who were older than 15 years were included in the study. The preoperative chemotherapy regimen consisted of epirubicin 90 mg/m(2), cisplatin 100 mg/m(2) on day 1 and ifosfamide 2.0 g/m(2)/day with an equivalent dose of mesna on days 2-4, repeated every 21 days. Six cycles of this combination regimen were administered (3 cycles prior to surgery and 3 cycles postoperatively). Forty-five patients with localized osteosarcoma entered this phase II trial. Median follow-up was 64 months. Thirty-two patients (84%) received the assigned 6 cycles of chemotherapy. Complete and good histological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 26 and 37%, respectively. The 5-year disease-free and overall survival rates were 41.9% (95% CI 33.6-50.2) and 48.2% (95% ...Continue Reading
