Abstract
The 5-year overall survival of children and adolescents with osteosarcoma has been in plateau during the last 30 years. The present systematic review (1976-2023) and meta-analysis aimed to explore factors implicated in the prognosis of children and young adults with high-grade osteosarcoma. Original studies including patients ≤30 years and the Nationwide Registry for Childhood Hematological Malignancies and Solid Tumors (NARECHEM-ST) data (2010-2021) referred to children ≤14 years were analysed. Individual participant data (IPD) and summary estimates were used to assess the n-year survival rates, as well as the association of risk factors with overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS). IPD and the n-year survival rates were pooled using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression models, and random effects models, respectively. Data from 8412 patients, including 46 publications, NARECHEM-ST data, and 277 IPD from 10 studies were analysed. The summary 5-year OS rate was 64% [95% confidence interval (95%CI): 62%-66%, 37 studies, 6661 patients] and the EFS was 52% (95%CI: 49%-56%, 30 studies, 5010 patients). The survival rates generally differed in the pre-specified subgroups. Limb-salvage surgery showed a higher 5-year OS rate (69%) versus amputation (47%). Good responders had higher OS rates at 3 years (94%) and 5 years (81%), compared to poor responders at 3 years (66%), and 5 years (56%). Patients with metastatic disease had a higher risk of death [Hazard Ratio (HR): 3.60, 95%CI: 2.52, 5.15, 11 studies]. Sex did not have an impact on EFS (HR females/males: 0.90, 95%CI: 0.54, 1.48, 3 studies), whereas age>18 years seems to adversely affect EFS (HR 18+/<10 years: 1.36, 95%CI: 1.09, 1.86, 3 studies). Our results summarize the collective experience on prognostic factors of high-grade osteosarcoma among children and young adults. Poor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and metastatic disease at diagnosis were confirmed as primary risk factors of poor outcome. International collaboration of osteosarcoma study groups is essential to improve survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma in children and adolescents require age-specific interdisciplinary diagnosis and treatment to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes. METHODS The diagnosis and treatment of malignant bone tumors in childhood and adolescence are presented in the light of publications retrieved by a selective search, pertinent guidelines, and the authors' extensive experience in an interdisciplinary cancer center. RESULTS Bone sarcomas make up approximately 5% of all malignancies in children and adolescents; the most common types are Ewing's sarcoma and osteosarcoma. Patients are often not referred to a specialized center until long after the onset of symptoms, as they and their physicians rarely consider the possibility of a bone tumor, and the symptoms are often trivialized. Bone pain of unknown origin, swelling, and functional limitations should be investigated with conventional x-rays. Lesions of unclear origin should be biopsied after a meticulous clinical and radiologic evaluation. Multimodal treatment consists of neo - adjuvant chemotherapy, limb-preserving resection if possible, and radiotherapy where indicated. In multicenter studies, patients with osteosarcoma achieve event-free survival in 64% of cases if their disease is localized, and 28% if it is metastatic; the corresponding figures for patients with Ewing's sarcoma are 80% and 27%, respectively. CONCLUSION With implementation of the current treatment recommendations, most children and adolescents with malignant bone tumors can be treated successfully with curative intent. These patients should be referred to a sarcoma center for diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma is a type of bone cancer that predominantly affects young individuals, including children and adolescents. The disease progresses through heterogeneous genetic alterations, and patients often develop pulmonary metastases even after the primary tumors have been surgically removed. Ubiquitin-specific peptidases (USPs) regulate several critical cellular processes, such as cell cycle progression, transcriptional activation, and signal transduction. Various studies have revealed the significance of USP37 in the regulation of replication stress and oncogenesis. METHODS In this study, the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was analyzed to investigate USP37 expression. RNA sequencing was utilized to assess the impact of USP37 overexpression and depletion on gene expression in osteosarcoma cells. Various molecular assays, including colony formation, immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation, and DNA replication restart, were employed to examine the physical interaction between USP37 and PCNA, as well as its physiological effects in osteosarcoma cells. Additionally, molecular docking studies were conducted to gain insight into the nature of the interaction between USP37 and PCNA. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry was performed on archived tissue blocks from osteosarcoma patients to establish a correlation between USP37 and PCNA expression. RESULTS Analysis of the TCGA database revealed that increased expression of USP37 was linked to decreased progression-free survival (PFS) in osteosarcoma patients. Next-generation sequencing analysis of osteosarcoma cells demonstrated that overexpression or knockdown of USP37 led to the expression of different sets of genes. USP37 overexpression provided a survival advantage, while its depletion heightened sensitivity to replication stress in osteosarcoma cells. USP37 was found to physically interact with PCNA, and molecular docking studies indicated that the interaction occurs through unique residues. In response to genotoxic stress, cells that overexpressed USP37 resolved DNA damage foci more quickly than control cells or cells in which USP37 was depleted. The expression of USP37 varied in archived osteosarcoma tissues, with intermediate expression seen in 52% of cases in the cohort examined. CONCLUSION The results of this investigation propose that USP37 plays a vital role in promoting replication stress tolerance in osteosarcoma cells. The interaction between USP37 and PCNA is involved in the regulation of replication stress, and disrupting it could potentially trigger synthetic lethality in osteosarcoma. This study has expanded our knowledge of the mechanism through which USP37 regulates replication stress, and its potential as a therapeutic target in osteosarcoma merits additional exploration.

Abstract
For the treatment of osteosarcoma, cisplatin (CDDP) can be substituted by carboplatin (CBDCA) to reduce toxicity. We report a single institution experience of CBDCA-based regimen. Two to three cycles of CBDCA + ifosfamide (IFO) therapy (window therapy) were administered as neoadjuvant therapy for osteosarcoma. Depending on the response of window therapy, the subsequent protocols were determined; for good responders, surgery is performed, and postoperative therapies with CBDCA + IFO, adriamycin (ADM) and high-dose methotrexate (MTX) were administered; for stable disease, the postoperative regimens were advanced before surgery, and the remaining amount of postoperative chemotherapy is deduced; for progressive disease, CBDCA-based regimen is changed to CDDP-based regimen. From 2009 to 2019, seven patients were treated with this protocol. During the window therapy, two patients (28.6%) were assessed as good responders and completed the regimen as planned. Four patients (57.1%) had stable disease, and the chemotherapy schedules were modified. One patient (14.2%) with progressive disease was shifted to the CDDP-based regimen. At final follow-up, four patients showed no evidence of disease and three patients died of the disease. Since the efficacy during window therapy was limited, a CBDCA-based regimen in the neoadjuvant setting was considered insufficient for performing adequate surgery.

Abstract
Background Osteosarcoma is one of the most common childhood bone malignancies. Although chemotherapy protocol including methotrexate is an effective treatment for osteosarcoma, some other regimens have excluded it because of its complications. Methods This retrospective study was conducted on 93 children younger than 15 years old who were diagnosed with osteosarcomafrom March 2007 to January 2020. Two chemotherapy protocols were administrated for patients, namely, DCM protocol (Doxorubicin-Cisplatin-Methotrexate) and German protocol (excluding methotrexate). All statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS-25 software. Results Among patients, 47.31% were male. Patients' age ranged from 3 to 15 with the mean of 10.41 ± 0.32 years. Femur was the most frequent primary tumor site (59.14%), followed by tibia (22.58%). Metastasis rate at diagnosis was 17.20% in our study. Furthermore, the 5-year overall survival (OS) of total patients was 37.3 ± 7.5%, whereas the 5-year OS of males and females was 33.6 ± 10.9% and 39.8 ± 10.6%, respectively. The 5-year OS of methotrexate regimen was 15.6 ± 9.6%, whereas that of methotrexate-free protocol was 50.2 ± 9.0%. Conclusions Female patients had better survival rates than males. In addition, the chemotherapy protocol excluding methotrexate significantly increased the overall and event free survival of patients.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OGS) is the most common primary bone tumor in children and adolescents which requires a multidisciplinary approach to management. Although chemotherapy and surgery can cure more than half of localized OGS cases, the unique challenges faced by resource-limited countries like India make this outcome difficult to achieve. Various questions in the management of OGS including role of high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) in neoadjuvant setting, triplet vs doublet chemotherapy, intensification of chemotherapy based on response in setting of doublet, and indigenous prosthesis in setting of limb salvage need to be defined. Similarly, in the metastatic and recurrent setting, questions regarding intent of treatment, indications of chemotherapy, timing of surgery, and role of targeted therapies need clarification. Lack of randomized trials from India makes definite conclusions difficult, but an attempt can be made to define the best approach in the Indian scenario from available evidence. Hence, a critical review of literature from India and the West was done to define possible management approaches and highlight the lacuna for future research.

Abstract
Clinical trials on pediatric oncology use therapeutic techniques with the overwhelming majority of children's cancer patients obtaining therapy via clinical investigation procedures. Medical treatment is scheduled according to a specific protocol for enrolled patients. These protocols often do not refer to nursing care. Nursing care, on the other hand, must complement the medical care specified in the medical research protocol. Safe treatment administration, assessment of treatment responses, patients' and families' education, and communication with the whole medical team are just a few of the critical nursing tasks that should be properly managed. Nursing care standards have been developed in this study to strike a good balance between the procedure for clinical research and the nursing care connected with it. These recommendations outline the nursing activities and considerations that must be made while caring for pediatric cancer patients who are engaged in a specific clinical investigation procedure. The objective of this study is to outline the procedure through which nursing care guidelines could be developed and evaluated. The goal of this study was to find out the involvement of nurses in the process of health education for osteosarcoma and family patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment refusal and abandonment (TxRA) are major barriers to improving outcomes among children with sarcomas of the extremities as curative treatment options bearing on amputation or disfiguring surgery, particularly in countries with limited resources. A multi-institutional retrospective study was conducted to determine the predictive factors for TxRA among patients with osteosarcoma associated with survival outcomes across Southeast Asia (SEA). METHODS Pediatric patients with osteosarcoma treated between January 1998 and December 2017 in four SEA pediatric oncology centers from three countries were studied. Nelson-Aalen estimates, Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox's proportion hazard model were applied to address the cumulative incidence, survival outcomes, and to identify prognostic factors associated with TxRA. RESULTS From a total of 208 patients with osteosarcoma enrolled; 18 (8.7%) patients refused and 41 (19.7%) patients abandoned treatment. Income classification of countries, age at diagnosis, tumor size, disease extent, chemotherapy protocols, and types of surgery were associated with TxRA. Tumor size more than 15 cm was an independent risk factor associated with TxRA. The 5-year overall and relapse-free survivals were 49.4% and 50.4%, respectively. However, these rates declined further to 37.9% and 35.8%, respectively, when TxRA were considered as events. Tumor size larger than 15 cm and metastatic disease were independent risk factors associated with TxRA-sensitive outcomes. CONCLUSION The prevalence of TxRA was high in SEA, particularly in lower middle-income countries. Factors associated with TxRA related to tumor burden. Treatment outcomes could be substantially improved by lowering the refusal and abandonment rates.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a rare malignancy; however, it is still the most common primary bone tumor in adolescents and young adults. Chemotherapy improves survival indubitably in osteosarcoma; nevertheless, the concern is the stagnant progress since the last several decades. There are a handful of active agents and unresolved issues, especially in choosing the ideal chemotherapy regimen. The oncology community is in equipoise regarding the position of high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX), mandatory or adjunct. The choice of therapy becomes widely relevant, including in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), where HDMTX administration brings additional complexities. Research into novel non-HDMTX-based protocols adapted to the available resources is pivotal in improving disease outcomes, especially in LMIC. The current review focuses on real-world challenges in decision-making and provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of treatment protocols in LMIC.

Abstract
Improving the survival of patients with osteosarcoma has long proved challenging, although the treatment of this disease is on the precipice of advancement. The increasing feasibility of molecular profiling together with the creation of both robust model systems and large, well-annotated tissue banks has led to an increased understanding of osteosarcoma biology. The historical invariability of survival outcomes and the limited number of agents known to be active in the treatment of this disease facilitate clinical trials designed to identify efficacious novel therapies using small cohorts of patients. In addition, trial designs will increasingly consider the genetic background of the tumour through biomarker-based patient selection, thereby enriching for clinical activity. Indeed, osteosarcoma cells are known to express a number of surface proteins that might be of therapeutic relevance, including B7-H3, GD2 and HER2, which can be targeted using antibody-drug conjugates and/or adoptive cell therapies. In addition, immune-checkpoint inhibition might augment the latter approach by helping to overcome the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment. In this Review, we provide a brief overview of current osteosarcoma therapy before focusing on the biological insights from the molecular profiling and preclinical modelling studies that have opened new therapeutic opportunities in this disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin and doxorubicin are integral components of chemotherapy regimens in the treatment of osteosarcoma. Choice of third agent high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) or an alkylating agent such as ifosfamide is debatable. The present study compared the impact of MAP (HDMTX-doxorubicin-cisplatin) and IAP (ifosfamide-doxorubicin-cisplatin) chemotherapy regimens on toxicity and survival in children and adolescents with osteosarcoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study including patients 18 years and younger with osteosarcoma during the study period. Clinical, demographic, chemotherapy regimen, and surgical details and treatment-related toxicity were retrieved from hospital medical records. Prognostic factors affecting overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) were analyzed. RESULTS Among 102 patients included in the study, 59 (57.8%) and 43 (42.2%) patients were treated with MAP and IAP regimens, respectively. Two groups were comparable in terms of pretreatment characteristics and surgical treatment. Overall, 95.9% patients underwent limb salvage surgery. There was a statistically increased incidence in supportive care admissions and delay in starting the next cycle of chemotherapy in the MAP group. Among the MAP cohort, the 5-year OS and EFS were 62% and 55% compared with 47% and 44%, respectively, in the IAP cohort (P=0.143 and 0.316, respectively). On univariate and multivariate analyses, statistically significant factors affecting EFS of the whole group included tumor size, stage, site of metastasis, histologic necrosis, and type of surgery. CONCLUSIONS OS and EFS with both regimens were similar. However, the MAP regimen was associated with a statistically significant increase in incidence of supportive care admissions, delay in next cycle of chemotherapy, and predicted higher cost of treatment.

Abstract
Background Malignant tumors of the musculoskeletal system, especially osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma, pose a major threat to the lives and health of adolescents and children. Current treatments for musculoskeletal tumors mainly include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. The problems of chemotherapy resistance, poor long-term outcome of radiotherapy, and the inherent toxicity and side effects of chemical drugs make it extremely urgent to seek new treatment strategies. Main text As a potent gene editing tool, the rapid development of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in recent years has prompted scientists to apply it to the study of musculoskeletal tumors. This review summarizes the application of CRISPR/Cas9 technology for the treatment of malignant musculoskeletal tumors, focusing on its essential role in the field of basic research. Conclusion CRISPR, has demonstrated strong efficacy in targeting tumor-related genes, and its future application in the clinical treatment of musculoskeletal tumors is promising.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumour in children and adolescents. Due to micrometastatic spread, radical surgery alone rarely results in cure. Introduction of combination chemotherapy in the 1970s, however, dramatically increased overall survival rates from 20% to approximately 70%. Unfortunately, large clinical trials aiming to intensify treatment in the past decades have failed to achieve higher cure rates. In this review, we revisit how the heterogenous nature of osteosarcoma as well as acquired and intrinsic resistance to chemotherapy can account for stagnation in therapy improvement. We summarise current osteosarcoma treatment strategies focusing on molecular determinants of treatment susceptibility and resistance. Understanding therapy susceptibility and resistance provides a basis for rational therapy betterment for both identifying patients that might be cured with less toxic interventions and targeting resistance mechanisms to sensitise resistant osteosarcoma to conventional therapies.

Abstract
Context: Osteogenic Sarcoma (OGS) is the fifth most common malignancy among adolescents aged 15–19. With multimodality therapy, the long-term survival has improved from 16% in the prechemotherapy era to around 70% in the postchemotherapy era. Aim: This study aims to determine the clinical profile and survival of children with OGS being treated with limb-salvage surgery (LSS). Subjects and Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of all cases of OGS (age ≤ 19) who underwent LSS at our center between June 2009 and February 2017. Baseline characteristics were noted and multivariate analysis was performed for various variables to identify predictors of survival. Results: Among 44 cases studied majority were boys (n = 27). Ninety-three percentage (n = 41) were adolescents. Stage 2 disease was 75% and Stage 3 disease was 25%. The estimated 3-year overall survival (OS) was 69% (95% confidence interval [CI] 55–86) and the estimated 3-year event-free survival (EFS) was 55% (95% CI = 41–74). OS was significantly improved in patients with >90% necrosis postneoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) when compared with <90% necrosis (3-year OS = 88% vs. 51%,P= 0.01) and in patients who received ≤4 cycles NACT versus >4 cycles (78% vs. 60%,P= 0.04). EFS was significantly better in patients without lung metastasis at presentation (61% vs. 29%,P= 0.04), Stage 2 disease (59% vs. 38%,P= 0.04) and >90% necrosis in the tumor post-NACT (69% vs. 35%,P= 0.02). Conclusion: Significant response to NACT predicted improved OS and EFS in children with OGS treated with LSS.

Abstract
Purpose Metastatic osteosarcoma is largely treated with high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX)–based therapy, especially in the pediatric population. This mandates complex pharmacokinetic monitoring in a costly inpatient setting to mitigate unpredictable serious toxicities. Hence, a non-HDMTX–based regimen is worth exploring, especially in India and low- and middle-income countries. Materials and Methods All consecutive treatment-naïve patients with metastatic osteosarcoma were prospectively treated on the novel OGS-12 protocol consisting of sequential doublets of doxorubicin, cisplatin, and ifosfamide. Four cycles were administered as neoadjuvant therapy followed by planned curative intent surgery and metastasectomy when feasible, followed by four cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy. Baseline characteristics, histologic response, event-free survival (EFS), overall survival (OS), and toxicity data were prospectively collected. Results Three hundred seventeen patients were enrolled onto the OGS-12 protocol from 2011 to 2014, of whom 80 (25%) had metastatic disease; median age was 17 years. The majority of patients were nutritionally challenged with high-risk features. At presentation, 83% of patients (66 patients) had lung metastases. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 57% of patients were histologically good responders. Four-year EFS and OS rates were 24% and 27%, respectively, in the intent-to-treat population and 27% and 29%, respectively, in the per-protocol analysis. Significant grade 3 or 4 toxicities were febrile neutropenia (51%), thrombocytopenia (36%), and anemia (54%). Histologic response was an independent predictor for EFS and OS in patients who underwent surgery. Surgical intervention was found to be significant for survival in univariable analysis. Conclusion The novel, low-cost, non-HDMTX–based, dose-dense OGS-12 regimen has shown comparable outcomes to international standards in metastatic osteosarcomas and is worthy of wider clinical application. An aggressive multimodality approach may result in long-term survival in a select group of patients and, hence, is worth considering.

Abstract
Clinical management of adolescents and young adults with bone and soft tissue sarcomas is quite challenging, mainly because of different chemotherapy approaches adopted by pediatric and adult oncologists and tumor-associated factors related to this peculiar age group. Overcoming these barriers is essential for adolescent and young adult patients, whose survival and long-term physical effects are worse than their pediatric counterparts. Nowadays, constant efforts from international collaborations between pediatric and adult oncologists of sarcoma groups have optioned in converging toward a common therapeutic strategy, while improving quality of treatment, as well as research advances dedicated to this at-risk age group of patients with sarcomas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of osteosarcoma is challenging especially in lower-income and middle-income countries, and there is an unmet need to evolve efficient and sustainable chemotherapy regimens. METHODS We compared the outcomes in nonmetastatic osteosarcoma patients treated with three sequential non-high-dose methotrexate-based combination chemotherapy protocols at a single tertiary care center over two decades. The first protocol, OGS-99, involved dose-intense, alternating dyads of three drugs: doxorubicin (Dox), cisplatin (CDDP), and ifosfamide (Ifo). The second protocol, OGS-99 enhanced, included OGS-99 drugs with etoposide and enhanced supportive care. The OGS-12 protocol involved dose-dense administration of eight sequential dyads of Dox, CDDP and Ifo, universal growth factor prophylaxis and targeted nutritional support. Event-free survival (EFS), overall survival (OS), and toxicity were reported using a retrospective chart review in the OGS-99 and OGS-99 enhanced protocols and prospectively in the OGS-12 protocol. RESULTS A total of 41, 94, and 385 treatment-naïve, consecutive, nonmetastatic patients with extremity osteosarcoma were treated with the OGS-99 (2000-2005), OGS-99 enhanced (2010), and OGS-12 (2011-2016), respectively. At a median follow-up of 19, 86, and 39 months, the five-year EFS rates were 38%, 50%, and 62% in the OGS-99, OGS-99 enhanced, and OGS-12, respectively. The corresponding rates of five-year OS were nonevaluable, 60% and 77%, respectively, with acceptable rates of grade 3-4 toxicities: febrile neutropenia (40%), thrombocytopenia (36%), anemia (51%), and 1% deaths related to toxicity. CONCLUSIONS Sequential selection of an intelligent, dose-dense chemotherapy regimen together with enhanced supportive care resulted in marked improvement in outcomes of nonmetastatic osteosarcoma and this "small steps-big changes" model deserves wider recognition and usage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiation therapy (RT) confers local tumor control and survival advantages in some patients with osteosarcoma, yet pediatric and adolescent and young adult (AYA) population studies are limited. METHODS Twenty-eight patients treated with curative-intent RT (median dose, 59.4 Gy; range, 40-76 Gy) at our institution from 1990 to 2017 were retrospectively identified. Cumulative incidence (CIN) of local failure (LF) was estimated by Gray's method and overall survival (OS) by the Kaplan-Meier method. Competing-risk regression and Cox proportional hazards models determined predictors of outcome. Toxicity was reported according to CTCAE v4.0. RESULTS With a median follow-up of 99.1 months in living patients, nine patients (32.1%) developed LF. Estimated CINs of LF with competing risk of death at 5 years for the entire cohort, patients at initial diagnosis (n = 16), and recurrent/refractory patients (n = 12) were 32.7% (95% CI, 16.0-50.5%), 25.0% (95% CI, 7.3-48.0%), and 43.8% (95% CI, 13.6-71.0%), respectively (P = 0.31). Estimated 5-year OS was 42.6% (95% CI, 23.2-62.0%), 54.6% (95% CI, 29.5-79.6%), and 24.3% (95% CI, 0-52.2%), respectively (P = 0.15). No clinicopathologic features were significantly associated with LF, yet lack of chemotherapy or metastasis at the time of RT was independent significant prognostic factors of decreased OS. Eleven patients experienced RT-related morbidity, with two grade 3 toxicities and no grade 4/5 events. CONCLUSIONS Curative-intent RT in pediatric and AYA patients was well tolerated and achieved a local tumor control rate of 75% in patients with primary disease. Local control rates were similar to those in primarily adult studies, with similar or lower doses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carboplatin is often adaptively dosed based on glomerular filtration rate (GFR), usually estimated by nuclear medicine tests. At least five pediatric adaptive dosing formulas have been developed. In an effort to standardize dosing in Children's Oncology Group protocols, we explored methodologic variation in GFR estimation and adaptive-dosing formula performance. PROCEDURE Nuclear medicine GFR data from published series of ≥100 children with cancer were compared. Data from patients for whom body surface area, weight, GFR, and tracer half-life were available were used to compare formulas. RESULTS Differences in methods used to estimate GFR in children with cancer resulted in highly variable population results, with median GFRs ranging from 96 to 150 mL/min/1.73m2 . The choice of adaptive formula had a major impact on calculated dose. When targeting an area under the curve of 7.9 mg/mL • min, the median difference between the formula yielding the lowest and highest carboplatin dose for individual subjects was 289 (range 96-1 737) mg/m2 . CONCLUSIONS Wide variation in GFR obtained with nuclear-medicine-based tests in children with cancer primarily results from systematic methodologic errors. Formulas for calculating carboplatin dose produce additional and substantial variation that may place children with cancer at unnecessary risk for excessive toxicity or underdosing. These findings indicate a need for the development of a uniform, validated method for GFR determination in children that should be utilized in all centers. Currently, adaptive dosing of carboplatin based on GFR has serious limitations and in most clinical settings should arguably not be used in place of body-surface-area-based dosing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Improvements in diagnostics and treatment for paediatric malignancies resulted in a major increase in survival. However, childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at risk of developing adverse effects caused by multimodal treatment for their malignancy. Nephrotoxicity is a known side effect of several treatments, including cisplatin, carboplatin, ifosfamide, radiotherapy and nephrectomy, and can cause glomerular filtration rate (GFR) impairment, proteinuria, tubulopathy, and hypertension. Evidence about the long-term effects of these treatments on renal function remains inconclusive. It is important to know the risk of, and risk factors for, early and late adverse renal effects, so that ultimately treatment and screening protocols can be adjusted. This review is an update of a previously published Cochrane Review. OBJECTIVES To evaluate existing evidence on the effects of potentially nephrotoxic treatment modalities on the prevalence of renal dysfunction in survivors treated for childhood cancer with a median or mean survival of at least one year after cessation of treatment, where possible in comparison with the general population or CCS treated without potentially nephrotoxic treatment. In addition, to evaluate evidence on associated risk factors, such as follow-up duration, age at time of diagnosis and treatment combinations, as well as the effect of doses. SEARCH METHODS On 31 March 2017 we searched the following electronic databases: CENTRAL, MEDLINE and Embase. In addition, we screened reference lists of relevant studies and we searched the congress proceedings of the International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP) and The American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology (ASPHO) from 2010 to 2016/2017. SELECTION CRITERIA Except for case reports, case series and studies including fewer than 20 participants, we included studies with all study designs that reported on renal function (one year or longer after cessation of treatment), in CCS treated before the age of 21 years with cisplatin, carboplatin, ifosfamide, radiation involving the kidney region, a nephrectomy, or a combination of two or more of these treatments. When not all treatment modalities were described or the study group of interest was unclear, a study was not eligible for the evaluation of prevalence. We still included it for the assessment of risk factors if it had performed a multivariable analysis. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently performed study selection, 'Risk of bias' assessment and data extraction using standardised data collection forms. We performed analyses according to the guidelines of the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. MAIN RESULTS Apart from the remaining 37 studies included from the original review, the search resulted in the inclusion of 24 new studies. In total, we included 61 studies; 46 for prevalence, six for both prevalence and risk factors, and nine not meeting the inclusion criteria, but assessing risk factors. The 52 studies evaluating the prevalence of renal dysfunction included 13,327 participants of interest, of whom at least 4499 underwent renal function testing. The prevalence of adverse renal effects ranged from 0% to 84%. This variation may be due to diversity of included malignancies, received treatments, reported outcome measures, follow-up duration and the methodological quality of available evidence.Seven out of 52 studies, including 244 participants, reported the prevalence of chronic kidney disease, which ranged from 2.4% to 32%.Of these 52 studies, 36 studied a decreased (estimated) GFR, including at least 432 CCS, and found it was present in 0% to 73.7% of participants. One eligible study reported an increased risk of glomerular dysfunction after concomitant treatment with aminoglycosides and vancomycin in CCS receiving total body irradiation (TBI). Four non-eligible studies assessing a total cohort of CCS, found nephrectomy and (high-dose (HD)) ifosfamide as risk factors for decreased GFR. The majority also reported cisplatin as a risk factor. In addition, two non-eligible studies showed an association of a longer follow-up period with glomerular dysfunction.Twenty-two out of 52 studies, including 851 participants, studied proteinuria, which was present in 3.5% to 84% of participants. Risk factors, analysed by three non-eligible studies, included HD cisplatin, (HD) ifosfamide, TBI, and a combination of nephrectomy and abdominal radiotherapy. However, studies were contradictory and incomparable.Eleven out of 52 studies assessed hypophosphataemia or tubular phosphate reabsorption (TPR), or both. Prevalence ranged between 0% and 36.8% for hypophosphataemia in 287 participants, and from 0% to 62.5% for impaired TPR in 246 participants. One non-eligible study investigated risk factors for hypophosphataemia, but could not find any association.Four out of 52 studies, including 128 CCS, assessed the prevalence of hypomagnesaemia, which ranged between 13.2% and 28.6%. Both non-eligible studies investigating risk factors identified cisplatin as a risk factor. Carboplatin, nephrectomy and follow-up time were other reported risk factors.The prevalence of hypertension ranged from 0% to 50% in 2464 participants (30/52 studies). Risk factors reported by one eligible study were older age at screening and abdominal radiotherapy. A non-eligible study also found long follow-up time as risk factor. Three non-eligible studies showed that a higher body mass index increased the risk of hypertension. Treatment-related risk factors were abdominal radiotherapy and TBI, but studies were inconsistent.Because of the profound heterogeneity of the studies, it was not possible to perform meta-analyses. Risk of bias was present in all studies. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of adverse renal effects after treatment with cisplatin, carboplatin, ifosfamide, radiation therapy involving the kidney region, nephrectomy, or any combination of these, ranged from 0% to 84% depending on the study population, received treatment combination, reported outcome measure, follow-up duration and methodological quality. With currently available evidence, it was not possible to draw solid conclusions regarding the prevalence of, and treatment-related risk factors for, specific adverse renal effects. Future studies should focus on adequate study designs and reporting, including large prospective cohort studies with adequate control groups when possible. In addition, these studies should deploy multivariable risk factor analyses to correct for possible confounding. Next to research concerning known nephrotoxic therapies, exploring nephrotoxicity after new therapeutic agents is advised for future studies. Until more evidence becomes available, CCS should preferably be enrolled into long-term follow-up programmes to monitor their renal function and blood pressure.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of proximal tibial hemiprosthesis replacement in the first stage and prosthesis revision in the second stage in reducing the risk of length discrepancy of limbs in children with proximal tibial osteosarcoma. Methods Between 2009 and 2013, 3 children with conventional osteosarcoma at the proximal tibia (stage ⅡB) were treated. There were 2 boys and 1 girl. They were 12, 13, and 13 years old, respectively. After 4 courses of preoperative chemotherapy, the proximal tumor segmental resection and proximal tibial hemiprosthesis replacement were performed. Then the patients underwent prosthetic revision in the second stage when they were 20, 17, and 17 years old, respectively. Results All patients successfully completed two stages of operations. The length discrepancy of lower limb after the second stage operation were 19, 7, and 21 mm, respectively. Three patients were followed up 13, 3, and 27 months after the second stage operation, and the lower extremities functions were satisfactory. The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score was 26, 27, and 25, respectively. Conclusion The proximal tibial hemiprosthesis replacement in the first stage combined with prosthesis revision in the second stage for treating the proximal tibia osteosarcoma in children can keep the distal femur growth ability, reduce the length discreapancy of lower limb, and obtain satisfactory stability and good function.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone tumor in children, and only 1 article in the literature describes a case of osteosarcoma in a patient with Down syndrome. Although osteosarcoma is generally treated with chemotherapy regimens that include high-dose methotrexate, patients with Down syndrome have heightened sensitivity to the toxicities of methotrexate. The patient from the aforementioned case study died from sepsis soon after treatment with high-dose methotrexate. This case report describes the successful treatment of osteosarcoma in a pediatric patient with Down syndrome without methotrexate.

Abstract
Introduction Primary bone and soft tissue sarcomas are rare, but diagnostically and therapeutically challenging group of tumors, requiring multidisciplinary management. There are limited documented studies from multidisciplinary teams , in the form of comprehensive analysis of these tumors, from our country. This study is an analysis of cases of osteosarcomas, Ewing sarcomas (ESs), chondrosarcomas (CSs), and soft-tissue sarcomas (STSs), registered at our institution during 2012. Methods Clinical details, including outcomes of cases of bone and STSs, during the year 2012, were retrieved from the medical records of our institution and were further analyzed. Results Ninety-five high-grade, extremity-based, treatment-naïve cases of osteosarcomas were treated with a novel, dose-dense, nonhigh-dose methotrexate-based OGS-12 protocol. Good histopathologic response (necrosis ≥90%) was achieved in 59% nonmetastatic and 56% metastatic patients. At a median follow-up of 48 months, the estimated 5-year event-free survival and overall survival (OS) were 67% and 78%, respectively. In the metastatic cohort at a median follow-up of 51 months, the 5-year estimated progression-free survival was 24% and OS was 26%. Among 87 (73.2%) nonmetastatic and 32 (26.8%) metastatic, analyzable cases of ES, at a median follow-up of 40 months, the disease-free survival (DFS) and OS in the nonmetastatic group were 62% and 83%; in the metastatic group, they were 37.5% and 65.6%, respectively. Among 40 cases of CSs (33 nonmetastatic and 7 metastatic), 21 had limb salvage surgery while 5 had amputation. Microscopically, 90.4% were Grade II CSs. Five-year OS and DFS were 84.6% and 71%, respectively. Among 189 high-grade, extremity-based STSs (89% nonmetastatic), synovial sarcoma was the most common subtype (31%). Eighty-five percent had limb preservation surgery; a majority were offered adjuvant radiation with or without chemotherapy. At a median follow-up of 51 (1-63) months, 3-year local control, DFS, and OS were 81%, 48%, and 64%, respectively. Conclusions The novel OGS 12 and Ewing Family of Tumors 2001 protocols have shown comparable outcomes to international standards in cases of osteosarcoma and ES, respectively, and merit wider applications, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Outcomes in STS and CSs were also comparable and underscore the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for the management of sarcomas in LMICS.

Abstract
Purpose Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) improves throughout treatment of
patients with nonmetastatic osteosarcoma. We compared HRQOL for patients in
the United States and Chile treated on an international trial (OS99) with
polychemotherapy and surgery, and we assessed the relationships among HRQOL
measures, event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS). Materials and Methods Patients with newly diagnosed, localized osteosarcoma and their parents
completed three HRQOL instruments (PedsQL v.4, PedsQL Cancer v.3, and
Symptom Distress Scale [SDS]). Data were collected at four time points
throughout therapy. Repeated measures models were used to investigate the
effect of treatment site on instrument scores. The log-rank test examined
the impact of treatment site on survival outcomes, and Cox proportional
hazards regression models evaluated baseline HRQOL measures as predictors of
EFS and OS. Results Of 71 eligible patients, 66 (93%) participated in the HRQOL studies in the
United States (n = 44) and Chile (n = 22). The median age was 13.4 years
(range, 5 to 23 years). Clinical characteristics were similar between
treatment sites. US patients reported better scores for physical
(P = .030), emotional (P = .027), and
school functioning (P < .001). Chilean patients
reported poorer scores for worry (P < .001) and
nausea (P = .007). Patient and parent nausea scores were
similar between patients treated in the United States and Chile by the end
of therapy. Differences in symptom distress were not observed between the
countries. Neither HRQOL measures nor treatment site were associated with
EFS or OS. Conclusion Although significant differences in HRQOL were observed between countries,
outcomes were similar, and HRQOL measures were not associated with
prognosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Osteosarcoma (OS) is a relatively chemosensitive primary bone tumor, with the peak age of onset occurring in late childhood and early adolescence. The treatment paradigm of nonmetastatic OS has typically been multimodality therapy, including neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy with definitive surgery. Over the years, various permutations and combinations of chemotherapeutic agents have been used. However, the majority of recent trials have still used high-dose methotrexate as the backbone, with cisplatin and doxorubicin (MAP). In the last decade, various strategies targeted to improving outcomes in OS have included the addition of a fourth drug to the three-drug MAP regimen, changing therapy according to histopathologic response and the addition of immunotherapies. Through this review, we sought to underscore a few pertinent issues related to chemotherapy in nonmetastatic OS, with special reference to challenges confronted in Indian settings. METHODS We reviewed the literature, focusing on studies comparing high-dose methotrexate and non-high-dose methotrexate-containing regimens. In addition, this review focuses on non-methotrexate-containing triple-drug therapy. RESULTS Although a high-dose methotrexate regimen has become standard of care in developed countries, there are few data to suggest that it is superior to a non-high-dose methotrexate regimen. CONCLUSION Developing countries with lack of infrastructure and logistics for high-dose methotrexate might resort to non-high-dose methotrexate-containing regimens with a simultaneous focus on early detection, decreasing abandonment, multidisciplinary clinics, improved surgery, and meticulous pathologic evaluations.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is a dose-limiting and potentially lethal complication of anthracycline administration. Previous studies failed to determine definitive toxic doses or cardioprotective factors. Current dosing strategies may utilize unnecessarily high anthracycline doses, such that survival benefit may not outweigh increased toxicity rates. A systematic review of randomized controlled trials and prospective/retrospective studies investigating anthracycline treatment in pediatric solid tumors was performed from PubMed/MEDLINE and Cochrane databases. Generalized linear models mapping survival, cardiotoxicity, and cardiotoxicity-free survival adjusted for male-to-female ratio, follow-up time, and concomitant chemotherapeutic drugs or cardioprotective agents (dexrazoxane) were generated using R. Survival rose linearly with increasing cumulative anthracycline dose whereas cardiotoxicity demonstrated exponential increases both without (dose, >200 mg/m) and with (dose, >400 mg/m) dexrazoxane. Maximum cardiotoxicity-free survival was 268.2 mg/m without and 431.8 mg/m with dexrazoxane. Despite increasing cardiotoxicity-free dose by >150 mg/m, dexrazoxane minimally improved projected survival (71.9% vs. 75.4%). Cardiotoxicity increased linearly as a function of follow-up time with rates doubling from 5 to 20 years, without evidence of plateau. On the basis of our model, current dosing regimens-doxorubicin doses >375 mg/m without dexrazoxane-overvalue increased anthracycline administration and may contribute to devastating cardiotoxicity. The linear increase of cardiotoxicity without evidence of plateau confirms the necessity for lifelong cardiac monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant tumor of bone. The survival of OS patients has steadily improved from <20% in the early 20th century to around 70% with current treatment. There are very few studies in pediatric OS from India analyzing various aspects of the disease. This study focuses on the clinical profile, treatment options, and their complications and survival outcomes in pediatric osteosarcoma (OS) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective observational study which included pediatric patients <14 years of age, with newly diagnosed OS confirmed by histological diagnosis. Medical records of all patients were reviewed for clinical profile, treatment data, surgical management, and treatment complications. Patients alive at the end of treatment were followed up and overall (OAS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were analyzed. RESULTS Sixty-two patients were diagnosed with OS during the study of whom 55 opted for treatment. Cisplatin, adriamycin, and ifosfamide (PAI) was offered as chemotherapy and was completed as planned in the majority of patients. Limb salvage surgery was performed in most patients (87%, n = 40). The local recurrence occurred in 7 patients. The 3 years overall survival for the cohort was 54.6% ± 7.8% and DFS was 43.4% ± 7.9%, with females and those with the localized disease having a significantly better DFS. CONCLUSIONS High dose methotrexate free chemotherapy can give good OAS in localized disease and LSS is feasible in most of the pediatric OS patients. However the modest DFS even for localized disease with PAI chemotherapy and extremely poor outcomes in the metastatic OS, demand further research and innovations in systemic therapy to improve outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current treatment of osteosarcoma includes surgical resection of all gross disease in conjunction with systemic chemotherapy to control micro-metastatic disease. This yields a 5-year event free survival (EFS) of approximately 70% for patients with localized osteosarcoma while patients with metastatic or recurrent disease fare poorly with overall survival rates of less than 20%. Areas covered: This review outlines the current and future approach towards the treatment of osteosarcoma. A literature search was performed utilizing PubMed. Several recent clinical trials are reviewed in detail, as is innovative research evaluating novel agents and surgical techniques which hold promise. Expert commentary: The outcome for patients with osteosarcoma has not changed in several decades. This plateau in survival rates highlights the need for a novel approach towards research. There remains a great deal of interest in utilizing the very high risk population of recurrent osteosarcoma patients to rapidly and sequentially evaluate novel agents to determine if any of these agents hold promise. Several phase II studies are ongoing or in development that offer hope based on intriguing preclinical data. Furthermore, initiatives in obtaining specimens to further explore the genetic and immunological profile behind osteosarcoma will be essential towards identifying novel pathways and targets to exploit.

Abstract
Treatment of adult osteosarcoma (AOS) includes perioperative chemotherapy and surgery. Standard chemotherapy consists of cisplatin (CP) and doxorubicin (DOX). Although considered the standard of care for pediatric patients, high-dose methotrexate (HDM) remains controversial in adults. We aimed to evaluate the role of HDM in AOS treated with curative intent. This study included patients with AOS who received perioperative chemotherapy with DOX and CP (group 1; N=16) and DOX, CP, and HDM (group 2; N=10). The primary endpoint was grade 3 or superior toxicities. The secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival. Despite lower average age (35.0±12.1 vs. 18.9±2.1 years), group 2 presented more grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia (0 vs 50%) and mucositis (0 vs 40%), whereas group 1 presented more grade 3-4 neutropenia (43.75 vs 40%). No grade 3-4 renal toxicities occurred. Two grade 5 toxicities occurred in group 2, both after the first HDM cycle. Disease-free survival (4.38±0.61 vs. 2.3±0.54 years, P=0.228) and OS (4.70±0.56 vs 2.52±0.57 years, P=0.107) were not statistically different, but presented a trend toward better outcomes in group 1. The 4-year OS was 65.6 and 32.8% for groups 1 and 2, respectively. In conclusion, HDM was associated with greater severe and lethal toxicity when added to CP and DOX in AOS. Also, it does not seem to impact on treatment efficacy. These data do not support the use of HDM for the perioperative treatment of AOS.

Abstract
Increased vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in osteosarcoma correlates with a poor outcome. We conducted a phase II trial to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of combining bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody against VEGF, with methotrexate, doxorubicin and cisplatin (MAP) in patients with localized osteosarcoma. Eligible patients received two courses of MAP chemotherapy before definitive surgery at week 10. Bevacizumab (15 mg/kg) was administered 3 days before starting chemotherapy then on day 1 of weeks 3 and 5 of chemotherapy. After surgery, patients received MAP for a total of 29 weeks; bevacizumab was added every 2 or 3 weeks on day 1 of chemotherapy at least 5 weeks after surgery. Group sequential monitoring rules were used to monitor for unacceptable bevacizumab-related targeted toxicity (grade 4 hypertension, proteinuria or bleeding, grade 3 or 4 thrombosis/embolism, and grade 2-4 major wound complications). Thirty-one patients (median age 12.8 years) with localized osteosarcoma were enrolled. No unacceptable targeted toxicities were observed except for wound complications (9 minor and 6 major), which occurred in 15 patients; none required removal of prosthetic hardware or amputation. The estimated 4-year event-free survival (EFS) rate and overall survival rate were 57.5 ± 10.0% and 83.4 ± 7.8%, respectively. Eight (28%) of 29 evaluable patients had good histologic response (<5% viable tumor) to preoperative chemotherapy. The addition of bevacizumab to MAP for localized osteosarcoma is feasible but frequent wound complications are encountered. The observed histologic response and EFS do not support further evaluation of bevacizumab in osteosarcoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pathologic fractures occur in 5-10% of pediatric osteosarcoma (OS) cases and have historically been considered a contraindication to limb salvage. Our purpose was to describe the radiographic features of pathologic fracture and examine its impact on local recurrence rates, functional outcomes, and overall survival. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients at our institution from 1990 to 2015 with pathologic fracture at diagnosis or during neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We selected a control group of 50 OS patients of similar age and gender without pathologic fracture from 1990 to 2015. Functional outcomes were scored using Musculoskeletal Tumor Society criteria. Chi-square test was used for comparative analysis of groups. RESULTS Thirty-six patients with 37 pathologic fractures form the study cohort. Of patients who received surgery, 18 of 34 patients with fracture underwent amputation compared to 8 of 48 patients in the nonfracture group (P = 0.007). Indications for amputation in fracture patients were tumor size (n = 7), neurovascular involvement (n = 6), and tumor progression during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (n = 5). Only one patient (2.9%) in the fracture group who underwent limb salvage suffered local recurrence. Of patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 25 of 34 fracture patients showed poor histological response compared to 24 of 47 nonfracture patients (P = 0.044). There was no statistically significant difference in overall survival (P = 0.96). Functional outcomes were significantly lower in fracture patients (median = 17.5) than nonfracture patients (median = 24) (P = 0.023). CONCLUSIONS Radiographic features of pathologic fractures were highly variable in this population. Limb salvage surgery can be performed without increased risk of local recurrence. Patients with pathologic fracture suffer worse functional outcomes but no decrease in overall survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the impacts of tumor location, nature and extent of bone destruction on selection of operative protocol for extremity osteosarcoma (OS). METHODS The medical records of 201 patients with extremity OS treated in our institute from December 1999 to June 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Ninety eligible patients (56 males and 34 females) of average age 20 ± 11 years (range, 4-40 years) were enrolled. Tumor locations were categorized as diaphyseal (4; diaphysis group) or juxta-articular (86); the latter being subclassified as with (51, type III, epiphysis group) or without invasion beyond the epiphyseal line or plate (35, type I and II, metaphysis group) according to MRI images. Tumor nature (osteogenic, 51; osteolytic, 39) was determined radiologically. Extent of bone destruction was quantitated according to Mirel's scoring system to obtain an "invasion score". Regular postoperative follow-up included physical examination and imaging evaluation. RESULTS Fifty-four patients underwent biological reconstruction and 36 mechanical reconstruction. The mean follow-up duration was 51 months (range, 6-176 months, including four deaths within 12 months). Biological reconstruction was performed more frequently in the diaphysis and metaphysis groups (31/39, 79.5%) than mechanical reconstruction (8/39, 20.5%, P < 0.05). Biological reconstruction and articular preservation were associated with more satisfactory limb function (MSTS scores: 25.0 ± 3.3 and 25.1 ± 3.6) than mechanical reconstruction and articular resection (MSTS scores: 23.4 ± 3.7 and 23.1 ± 3.4, P < 0.05). Reconstruction methods and articular preservation had no relationship with overall or tumor-free survival (P > 0.05). Osteolytic lesions were associated with more extensive bone destruction than osteogenic lesions according to invasion scores (P < 0.05). Following biological reconstruction, high invasion scores (>8) had a 13.5-fold risk of fracture compared with low scores (≤8) (P < 0.05). Twenty-one subjects had recurrences, 30 metastases and 26 died. Postoperative complications included infection (6), fracture (10), and prosthesis loosening (4). Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated 5- and 10-year survival rates of 68.9% and 62.8%, respectively, and 5- and 10-year tumor-free survival rates of 66.7% and 57.8%, respectively. CONCLUSION Selection of limb salvage operative protocol for extremity OS should rely on tumor location, nature and extent of bone destruction. Regardless of tumor site, mechanical reconstruction is indicated for tumors with high invasion scores (>8), whereas biological reconstruction is preferred for those with low invasion scores (≤8). Tumors sparing the epiphyseal line or plate are ideal candidates for articular preservation.

Abstract
High-grade osteosarcomas are the most common primary malignant tumors of bone. With complete surgical resection and multi-agent chemotherapy up to 70% of patients with high-grade osteosarcomas and localized extremity tumors can become long-term survivors. The prognosis, however, is poor for patients with nonresectable, primary metastatic or relapsed disease. Outcome is essentially unchanged for three decades. Herein, we describe selected novel insights into the genomics, biology and immunology of the disease and discuss selected strategies, which hold promise to overcome the current stagnation in the therapeutic success in childhood osteosarcoma.

Abstract
This document is an update of the British Sarcoma Group guidelines published in 2010. The aim is to provide a reference standard for the clinical care of patients in the UK with bone sarcomas. Recent recommendations by the European Society of Medical Oncology, The National Comprehensive Cancer Network and The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence have been incorporated, and the literature since 2010 reviewed. The standards represent a consensus amongst British Sarcoma Group members in 2015. It is acknowledged that these guidelines will need further updates as care evolves. The key recommendations are that bone pain or a palpable mass should always lead to further investigation and that patients with clinico-radiological findings suggestive of a primary bone tumour at any site in the skeleton should be referred to a specialist centre and managed by a fully accredited bone sarcoma multidisciplinary team. Treatment recommendations are provided for the major tumour types and for localised, metastatic and recurrent disease. Follow up schedules are suggested.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The outcome of localized osteosarcoma has remained constant over the past 30 years. Histological response to preoperative chemotherapy is the best predictor of outcome. Strategies to alter treatment based on histological response have not resulted in increased survival. PROCEDURE Patients with localized osteosarcoma received preoperative chemotherapy with cisplatin, doxorubicin, and methotrexate. Patients whose tumors had a good histological response (≥90% necrosis) continued with the same treatment postoperatively. Patients with poor histological response (<90% necrosis) received three courses of melphalan 100 mg/m(2) on day -4, cyclophosphamide 2,000 mg/m(2) on days -3, and -2 followed by stem cell infusion. RESULTS Fifty-two patients were enrolled. Median age was 14 years, and 56% of patients were male. The femur was the most common site. Forty patients underwent limb salvage surgery and amputation was performed in six patients. Forty-eight percent of tumors showed good histological response. Forty patients were evaluable for outcome; 18 patients with poor histologic response received high-dose chemotherapy. The 5-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) for patients treated on the high-dose chemotherapy arm were 28% (95% confidence interval [CI], 10-49) and 48% (95% CI, 23-69), respectively. The 5-year EFS and OS for patients treated on the standard chemotherapy arm were 62% (95% CI, 36-80) and 74% (95% CI, 44-90), respectively. All patients who received high-dose chemotherapy developed grade 3 or higher hematological toxicity. There were no treatment-related deaths. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative alkylator intensification with high-dose cyclophosphamide and melphalan in patients with localized osteosarcoma with poor histological response failed to improve survival.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor and affects a significant portion of pediatric oncology patients. Although surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy confer significant survival benefits, many patients go on to develop metastatic disease, particularly to the lungs, secondary to development of drug resistance. Inhibition of protein phosphatase 2A with the small molecule, LB100, has demonstrated potent chemo- and radio-sensitizing properties in numerous pre-clinical tumor models. In this study, we showed that LB100 overcame DNA repair mechanisms in osteosarcoma cells treated with cisplatin, in vitro, and recapitulated these findings in an in vivo xenograft model. Notably, the addition of LB100 to cisplatin prevented development of pulmonary metastases in the majority of treated animals. Our data indicated the mechanism of chemo-sensitization by LB100 involved abrogation of the ATM/ATR-activated DNA damage response, leading to hyperphosphorylation of Chk proteins and persistent cyclin activity. In addition, LB100 exposure suppressed Akt signaling, leading to Mdm2-mediated proteasomal degradation of functional p53. Taken together, LB100 prevented repair of cisplatin-induced DNA damage, resulting in mitotic catastrophe and cell death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limb-sparing surgery for osteosarcoma requires taking wide bony resection margins while maximizing preservation of native bone and joint. However, the optimal bony margin and factors associated with recurrence and survival outcomes in these patients are not well established. PROCEDURE We conducted a retrospective review of outcomes in children and adolescents with newly diagnosed osteosarcoma from 1986 to 2012, where bony resection margins for limb-sparing surgeries were decreased serially from 5 to 1.5 cm. The association between bony margins and other surgicopathological factors with survival and recurrence outcomes was determined. RESULTS In 181 limb-sparing surgeries in 173 patients, planned and actual bony resection margins were not significantly associated with local recurrence-free survival (LRFS), event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS)-at median 5.8 years follow-up, decreasing planned bony resection margins from 5 to 1.5 cm did not significantly decrease survival outcomes. Multivariable analysis showed that the presence of distant metastases at diagnosis was associated with decreased LRFS, EFS, and OS (P = 0.002, 0.005, and <0.0001, respectively). Post-chemotherapy tumor necrosis ≤90% was associated with decreased EFS and OS (P = 0.001 and 0.022, respectively). Earlier years of treatment and pathologic fractures were associated with decreased OS only (P = 0.018 and 0.008, respectively); previous cancer history and male gender were associated with decreased EFS only (P = 0.043 and 0.023, respectively). CONCLUSION We did not observe significant increase in adverse survival outcomes with reduction of longitudinal bony resection margins to 1.5 cm. Established prognostic factors, particularly histologic response to chemotherapy and metastases at diagnosis, remain relevant in limb-sparing patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We report the long-term outcomes of patients with osteosarcoma who underwent effective preoperative chemotherapy and subsequently underwent marginal resection. METHODS We reviewed the records of 50 patients with osteosarcoma who underwent marginal resection following effective preoperative chemotherapy; 18 were treated with the MMIA (high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX), adriamycin (ADR), ifosfamide (IFO)) and cisplatin (DDP), and 32 patients were treated with the DIA (DDP, ADR and IFO). protocol. The functions of the affected limb were evaluated using the revised MSTS93 system. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 5.5 years, the rates were: overall 5-year cumulative survival 61.7%, event-free survival 57.7%, recurrence 8.5%, pulmonary metastases 42.6%, and excellent to good function of the affected limb 57.7%. CONCLUSIONS Our results showed that marginal resection can be performed in patients with osteosarcoma who obtain clinically favorable responses to chemotherapy. Patients had a good clinical course and there was no negative effect on rates of survival or local recurrence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE High-dose methotrexate (hdmtx) is a common therapeutic agent in the treatment of osteosarcoma. However, hdmtx is highly toxic and requires complex pharmacokinetic monitoring and leucovorin rescue. Thus, alternative therapeutic strategies are necessary. Here, we analyzed the clinical efficacy of a dia regimen (cisplatin-ifosfamide-doxorubicin) to evaluate its potential as an alternative to hdmtx-based therapy. METHODS Patients received 12 cycles of chemotherapy administered over 2 years (2 preoperative cycles and 10 postoperative cycles). Cumulative dose was the same in all cycles: cisplatin 120 mg/m(2) on day 1 of week 1, followed by ifosfamide 2.0 g/m(2) days 1-5 of week 2, and doxorubicin 20 mg/m(2) days 1-3 of week 2. RESULTS Between January 2004 and October 2008, 39 eligible patients (median age: 16 years) were enrolled, with 36 being evaluable for the study. Of those 36 patients, 20 (55.6%) had a good histologic response to preoperative chemotherapy (>90% tumour necrosis). The estimated 5-year rates of event-free survival (efs) and overall survival were 54.8% and 61.5% respectively. CONCLUSIONS The results of our study suggest that, in osteosarcoma patients, the dia regimen produces an efs rate and survival outcomes comparable to those attained with hdmtx-containing regimens, with fewer adverse reactions. The dia regimen is well tolerated, and we observed a high level of patient compliance. Our results demonstrate that hdmtx-free osteosarcoma treatment regimens can be effective, warranting further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone tumor in childhood and adolescence. Carboplatin, a platinum-derived agent, is used as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for pediatric osteosarcoma because of its anti-tumor activity and had low toxicity as compared to cisplatin. OBJECTIVE To determine demographic data, prognostic factors and outcome of childhood osteosarcoma treated with a carboplatin-based chemotherapeutic protocol at Chiang Mai University. METHOD A retrospective analysis was conducted on 34 osteosarcoma patients aged less than 18 years and treated between 2003 and 2011. RESULTS Overall limb-salvage and amputation rates were 23.5% and 70.6%, respectively. With the mean follow-up time of 29.5 months (1.5-108.9), the Kaplan-Meier analysis for 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) and 3-year overall survival (OS) were 20.2±7.7% and 47.1±9.5% respectively. Patients who had initial pulmonary metastasis were at significantly greater risk for developing recurrence (p=0.02, OR=7; 1.2-40.1) and had a tendency to have lower 3-year OS compared to those without initial pulmonary metastasis (28.1±13%, 63.1±12.3%, respectively, p=0.202). On univariate analysis, age at diagnosis and patients who were declined surgery were significantly associated with lower 3-year OS (p=0.008 and <0.05, respectively). However, age at diagnosis, sex, tumor size and histological subtypes were not found to significantly affect recurrence or survival. CONCLUSIONS In our study, the survival rate was far lower than those reported from developed countries. These might indicate the ineffectiveness of carboplatin in combination with doxorubicin as frontline treatment of pediatric osteosarcoma, especially in those with initial pulmonary metastasis. Refinement in risk and treatment stratification and dose intensification for pediatric osteosarcoma constitutes a future challenge to improve outcomes, especially in metastatic patients who may need a more intensive regimen.
