ABSTRACT

Oseteogenic sarcoma is a kind of malignanttumor of bone, it can occur at any age, teenagersare mose commonly involved. The conventionaltreatment of osteogenic sarcoma was high amputa-tion. Although the primary focuses were removedtotaliy, the subclinical minor focuses could not becontrolled effectively. Therefore. the prognosiswas very poor, the five-year survival rate was on-ly about 20 percent. With the rapid development inchemotherapy and orthopedical surgery tech-niques, multimodality therapy of osteogenic sarco-ma were carried out in 65 cases from 1982 to 1988in our hospital. Curative effect has been satisfac-torily improved. The fivc-year survival rate hasbeen raised to 67. 92%. The methods of multi-modality therapy were as follows: ①Peroperationand postoperation chemotherapy with p?liod ofbody. ②Local arteries were perfused with Nitero-gen mustard (HN_2). ③Inactivation of tumor celland replantation. ④Inactivation of tumor cells invivo. ⑤Amputation.
