Abstract
At M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, intra-arterial cisplatin, intravenous doxorubicin, high-dose methotrexate, and ifosfamide constitute the mainstay of treatment for children with osteosarcoma. Limb salvage or amputation is performed to extirpate the primary tumor. To achieve cure in patients with pulmonary metastases, surgical intervention is required in addition to chemotherapy.
