Osteosarcoma was a miserable disease for adolescents and young adults until the early 1970s, with a survival rate that was less than 10–15% even after amputation for affected limbs because of the progression of pulmonary metastasis. With the development of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for osteosarcoma, including high-dose methotrexate, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and ifosfamide during the late 1970s and the 1980s, however, the prognosis has dramatically improved. Limb-salvage surgery for patients with extremity osteosarcoma is now a gold-standard surgical procedure for more than 90% of patients with localized disease. Additionally, aggressive pulmonary metastasectomy for patients with lung metastasis fromosteosarcoma has contributed to improvement of their survival. More recently, carbon-ion radiotherapy has also been introduced for patients with unresectable osteosarcoma of the trunk, as in the spine | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | doxorubicin; ifosfamide; limb-salvage surgery; methotrexate; neoadjuvant chemotherapy; pulmonary metastas | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-55696-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-4-431-56677-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-4-431-55696-1 | copyright | Springer Japan 2016 |
