Intra-arterial (IA) and intravenous (IV) cisplatinum (CDP) were studied in a multiagent regimen of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for osteosarcoma of the extremities. Preoperatively two cycles of high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) were administered, followed 5 days later by CDP and Adriamycin (ADM). MTX and ADM were administered IV, and CDP was delivered IA or IV. Postoperatively, good responders received 3 more cycles of the same drugs, while poor responders had a longer chemotherapy including ifosfamide. The rate of good histological response to chemotherapy was significantly higher in patients treated intraarterially (78% vs 46%: P < .004), while no significant differences in terms of disease-free survival were observed between patients who received CDP IA and patients who received CDP IV (55% vs 51%). In the IA group, however, there was only one local recurrence vs 5 in the IV group. The IA infusion of CDP is more active on the primary tumor than the IV infusion.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.
