Brief summary

To study the effect of the timing of surgery on outcome of patients with nonmetastatic osteosarcoma of pelvis and sacrum.

Detailed description

Successful therapeutic interventions to prevent disease progression in patients with nonmetastatic osteosarcoma of pelvis and sacrum have included surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy. Pre-surgical chemotherapy has been advocated for these patients because of putative improvement in event-free survival (EFS). The advantages of pre-surgical chemotherapy include early administration of systemic chemotherapy, shrinkage of primary tumor, and pathologic identification of risk groups. The theoretic disadvantage is that it exposes a large tumor burden to marginally effective chemotherapy, especially in the axial region. The contribution of chemotherapy and surgery timing has not been tested rigorously. To study the effect of the timing of surgery on outcome of patients with nonmetastatic osteosarcoma of pelvis and sacrum, we conducted multicenter randomized trial to determine whether chemotherapy administered before definitive resection of primary tumors improved EFS and overall survival compared with traditional resection of the primary tumor followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.
