RESUMO
Our investigation involved 27 patients with osteosarcoma and 2--malignant fibrous histiocytoma of long tubular bones treated at the Center's Clinics (2001-2008). Two regimes were used for relapsed tumor: ifosamide up to 5-10 g/m2 (median 7.5) + carboplatin 300-750 mg/m2 (median 350) + etoposide 300-500 mg/m2 (median 450) (ICE), or doxorubicin 50-80 mg/m2 (median 60) (ICA). Surgical treatment used atypical resection of the lung or precision excision of metastasis. Median post-relapse follow-up was 18 months. When ICE was used, partial effect was reported in 3 (17.6%), stabilization--10 (58.8%), and tumor progression--4 (23.5%); ICA: partial effect--3 (25%), stabilization--6 (50%), tumor progression--3 (25%). Metastases were removed after a course of chemotherapy in 16 cases. Overall 3- and 5-year survival was 51.6 +/- 11% and 34.4 +/- 16%, respectively. Relatively more aggressive was the course of the disease in cases of early relapse (< or = 12 months), combination of local recurrence and distant metastasis and those who had not survived until a second surgical remission. Hence, timely combination therapy of relapsed high-grade osteosarcoma may secure relatively long remission in 35-40.3%.

The follow-up of 318 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia given program therapy that included different treatments including chemo- and radioprevention of neuroleukemia demonstrated the high efficacy of the measures carried out, which reduced the incidence of neuroleukemia to 5.6%. No gross changes on the part of the neuropsychic status were revealed in the course of the follow-up of children who received the combined prophylaxis of neuroleukemia. The derangement of the CNS was recorded in 17 patients and ran its course in the form of leukemic meningitis and meningoencephalitis.
