Zusammenfassung

Aufgrund der Häufigkeit okkulter pulmonaler Metastasen bereits bei Diagnosestellung eines Osteosarkoms ist die Chemotherapie ein elementarer Bestandteil der multimodalen Therapie dieser Erkrankung. Seit Etablierung der adjuvanten Chemotherapie in den 80er Jahren wurden bedeutende Fortschritte durch konsekutiv durchgeführte multizentrische Studien erreicht. Weitere Verbesserungen sind nur durch große internationale Studien zu erreichen. Hierbei stellt die aktuelle EURAMOS-1 – Studie, die durch Zusammenschluss mehrerer großer Studiengruppen in Europa und USA zustande kam, einen wesentlichen Schritt dar. Ein weiterer Meilenstein ist die EURO-B.O.S.S.-Studie, die erstmals systematisch die Therapie von älteren Patienten mit Osteosarkomen und anderen hochmalignen Knochentumoren untersucht.

Abstract

Due to the frequency of occult pulmonary metastases at the time of first diagnosis of osteosarcoma, chemotherapy plays a major role in the interdisciplinary treatment of this disease. Since the establishment of adjuvant chemotherapy in the 1980s important improvements have been made through consecutive multicentre clinical trials. Further progress can only be achieved with large, international, randomized clinical trials such as EURAMOS 1, an intergroup trial with participation of the major osteosarcoma study groups in Europe and the US. Another important step is the EURO-B.O.S.S. trial; the first study on osteosarcoma and other high-grade bone tumors in patients over the age of 40 years.
