Sequential combination chemotherapy (containing high-dose cyclophosphamide) for metastic osteogenic sarcoma. 1978

A S Levine, and F R Appelbaum, and R G Graw, and I T Magrath, and P A Pizzo, and D G Poplack, and J L Ziegler

Eleven patients with metastatic osteogenic sarcoma were treated with cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, and, in some cases, high-dose methotrexate. In the event of metastatic progression, the dose of cyclophosphamide was escalated by increasing the number of consecutive daily infusions (dose, 45 mg/kg/day). The results indicate that metastatic osteogenic sarcoma is marginally responsive to adriamycin and cyclophosphamide but rarely responsive to high-dose methotrexate as administered in this trial. The response of metastatic lesions was not improved by escalating the dose of cyclophosphamide.
