Abstract:
Aim: To investigate the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy plus tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) therapy in osteosarcoma patients with a poor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Materials & methods: 40 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy (Group 1) and 40 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy plus TILs therapy (Group 2). Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: The median DFS (mDFS; 65.3 months) and median OS (mOS; 95.8 months) in Group 2 were significantly prolonged compared with those in Group 1 (55.5 months for mDFS and 80.4 months for mOS). Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that a greater number of TILs transfused was an independent prognostic factor for both mDFS and mOS. Conclusion: Adjuvant chemotherapy plus TILs therapy may prolong survival of patients with a poor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
