Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Chemotherapy

Background:

  • Osteosarcoma presents a significant challenge for limb salvage surgery.
  • Preserving limb function post-treatment is crucial for patient quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of intentional marginal excision combined with caffeine-assisted chemotherapy for osteosarcoma.
  • To assess the impact of this combined approach on limb function preservation.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-seven osteosarcoma patients received neoadjuvant intra-arterial cisplatin and caffeine (with or without doxorubicin).
  • Limb salvage surgery using intentional marginal excision was performed on 26 responders.
  • Various reconstruction techniques were employed, including distraction osteogenesis and prosthetics.

Main Results:

  • 96% of patients responded to chemotherapy, enabling limb salvage surgery.
  • Histologic analysis showed minimal to no viable tumor cells in most responders.
  • The average functional outcome was 91% of normal, with a low local recurrence rate.

Conclusions:

  • Intentional marginal excision with caffeine-assisted chemotherapy is a beneficial strategy for osteosarcoma.
  • This approach successfully preserves vital structures and improves limb function after surgery.
  • It offers a promising method to enhance limb salvage success in osteosarcoma treatment.
