[Role and place of radio- and chemotherapy in treating bone sarcomas].
The results of combination therapy of 510 patients with osteosarcoma were analysed. It was established that most advantage is offered by this therapy in cases of osteogenic sarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma supplemented with surgery whenever required. A 33.9 and 30.1% increases in 3- and 6-year survival, respectively, were registered in 50 cases of osteogenic sarcoma, following amputation and a course of polychemotherapy (adriamycin, vincristin, sarcolysin and cyclophosphamide). There were no relapses in 40 cases of extensive segmental resection of the site of bone lesion with preoperative intra-arterial infusion of adriamycin, radiation therapy and adjuvant polychemotherapy. This scheme resulted in 4-year survival in 55.7% and good performance. A 5-year survival rose to 40.8% in 45 cases of Ewing's sarcoma, following adjuvant therapy with sarcolysin or cyclophosphamide administered after a course of radiation therapy in the dose of 50-60 Gy.
