Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone tumor in children, adolescents, and young adults. Second primary malignancies (SPMs) are a potential serious long-term event that can occur in osteosarcoma survivors. METHODS The National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results 18 database was queried for all osteosarcoma cases from 2000 through 2015. Standardized incidence ratio (SIR) and absolute excess risk (AER) of SPM per 10,000 persons (AER) relative to representative population-level data were calculated across for various anatomic locations. RESULTS In total, 3438 patients with osteosarcoma were identified. Of these patients, 79 (2.3%) developed SPMs, with an SIR of 2.84 (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.35 to 3.39, P < 0.0001) and an AER of 44.96. The most common SPMs were tumors of the bones or joints (SIR 73.07, CI, 38.90 to 124.94, P < 0.0001, AER 7.48), tumors of soft tissues including the heart (SIR 15.19, CI, 5.58 to 33.07, P < 0.0001, AER 3.27), and leukemia (SIR 22.28, CI, 15.03 to 31.80, P < 0.0001, AER 16.74). CONCLUSION The overall incidence of SPMs in osteosarcoma survivors was significantly higher than would otherwise be expected for this population. Considering the occurrence and targeting surveillance for SPM in the osteosarcoma patient population is warranted.

Abstract
Simple Summary The treatment of osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma, the two major types of malignant bone tumors in children, has progressed considerably during the last decades, with more patients becoming long-term survivors. This improvement has resulted in an increasing number of patients with long-term adverse health consequences from the life-saving treatment. The aim of this study was to provide a detailed, comprehensive overview of somatic diseases that require hospitalization in long-term survivors of osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma. This study contributes new insights into the risk of somatic late effects in survivors of osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma which are urgently requested by pediatric oncologists, researchers, and by survivors and their families. The study provides an essential basis for the development of preventive intervention strategies and for optimal patient counseling and follow-up care, which all contribute to improving the health and quality of life in survivors. Abstract Survivors of malignant bone tumors in childhood are at risk of long-term adverse health effects. We comprehensively reviewed cases of somatic diseases that required a hospital contact in survivors of osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma. In a population-based cohort study, 620 five-year survivors of osteosarcoma (n = 440) or Ewing sarcoma (n = 180), diagnosed before the age of 20 years in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, and Sweden during 1943–2008, were followed in the national hospital registers. Overall rates of hospital contacts for any somatic disease and for 12 main diagnostic groups and 120 specific disease categories were compared with those in a matched comparison cohort (n = 3049) randomly selected from the national population registers. The rate of hospital contact for any somatic disease was 80% higher in survivors of malignant bone tumors than in comparisons and remained elevated up to 30 years after diagnosis. The rate of hospital contacts was higher after Ewing sarcoma (rate ratio (RR) 2.24; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.76–2.85) than after osteosarcoma (RR 1.67; 95% CI 1.41–1.98). Elevated rates were observed for 11 main diagnostic groups, including infections, second malignant neoplasms, and diseases of the skin, bones, and circulatory, digestive, endocrine, and urinary systems. Survivors of malignant bone tumors in childhood are at increased risk of somatic diseases many years after diagnosis. This comprehensive study contributes new insight into the risk of late effects in survivors of osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma, which is an essential basis for optimal patient counseling and follow-up care.

The role of combined ion-beam radiotherapy (CIBRT) with protons and carbon ions in a multimodal treatment strategy of inoperable osteosarcoma. Radiother Oncol 2021; 159:8-16. [PMID: 33549644 DOI: 10.1016/j.radonc.2021.01.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Revised: 12/15/2020] [Accepted: 01/21/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the role of combined ion-beam radiotherapy (CIBRT) with protons and carbon ions in a multimodal treatment strategy of inoperable osteosarcoma; final analysis of a one-armed, single center phase I/II trial. METHODS Between August 2011 until September 2018, 20 patients with primary (N = 18), metastatic (N = 3), or recurrent (N = 2) inoperable pelvic (70%) or craniofacial (30%) osteosarcoma were treated with protons up to 54 Gy (RBE) and a carbon ion boost of 18 Gy (RBE) and followed until May 2019. A Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) was performed before CIBRT in search for a prognostic factor. The primary endpoint was toxicity. Secondary endpoints included treatment response, global, local and distant progression free survival (PFS, LPFS and DPFS) and overall (OS), among others. RESULTS The median age was 20; all patients finished treatment per protocol. LPFS, DPFS, PFS and OS were 73%, 74%, 60% and 75% after one year and 55%, 65% 65.3%, 45% and 68% after two years, respectively. The median clinical target volume (CTV) was 1042 cc and 415 cc for the primary and boost plan, respectively. Craniofacial localization, lower uptake of FDG in PET/CT and boost plan CTV ≤ median were associated with improved overall survival (p = 0.039, p = 0.016 and p = 0.0043, respectively). No acute toxicities > grade III were observed. We observed one case of secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) seven months after CIBRT for recurrent disease and one case of hearing loss. CONCLUSION CIBRT shows a favorable toxicity profile and promising results particularly for patients with inoperable craniofacial osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Introduction: Peri-operative chemotherapy is the backbone of treatment for patients with osteosarcoma. Methotrexate, cisplatinum, doxorubicin and ifosfamide are the main drugs used in chemotherapy regimens used for osteosarcoma.Areas covered: We have reviewed here the relevant literature related to the incidence and management of acute and late toxicities of systemic treatment used for the management of patients with osteosarcoma.Expert opinion: Early diagnosis and appropriate management of acute and late toxicities of chemotherapy is crucial for an efficient care of osteosarcoma patients. Although the incidence and management of chemotherapy-related acute toxicities are well known by most oncologists, the use of high doses of methotrexate have the potential to cause fatal toxicities and, therefore, needs careful monitoring. Moreover, the diagnosis of late toxicities is more challenging and requires long-term follow-up for an appropriate management.

Abstract
Objective This study was performed to explore the relationship between various clinical factors and the prognosis of limb osteosarcoma. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 336 patients with limb osteosarcoma treated from June 2000 to August 2016 at 7 Chinese cancer centers. Data on the patients’ clinical condition, treatment method, complications, recurrences, metastasis, and prognosis were collected and analyzed. Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox regression models were used to analyze the data. Results The patients comprised 204 males and 132 females ranging in age from 6 to 74 years (average, 21.1 years). The overall 3- and 5-year survival rates were 65.0% and 55.0%, respectively. The 5-year overall survival rate was 64.0% with standard chemotherapy and 45.6% with non-standard chemotherapy. Cox regression analysis demonstrated that standard chemotherapy, surgery, recurrence, and metastasis were independent factors associated with the prognosis of limb osteosarcoma. Conclusion The survival of patients with limb osteosarcoma can be significantly improved by combining standard chemotherapy and surgery. The overall survival rate can also be improved by adding methotrexate to doxorubicin–cisplatin–ifosfamide triple chemotherapy.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone carcinoma that primarily occurs between childhood to adolescence. It was suggested by recent research that the Brain type glycogen phosphorylase (PYGB) gene may serve an important role in various types of cancer. In the present study, the PYGB gene was knocked down in order to evaluate the cell viability, invasion and migration of the human osteosarcoma cell lines MG63 and HOS. The expression levels of PYGB in osteosarcoma and bone cyst tissue samples, as well as in the osteosarcoma cell lines were identified using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot assay. Subsequently, a Cell Counting kit 8 assay was employed to evaluate cell proliferation. Cell apoptosis rate and cell cycle distribution were measured by flow cytometry. In addition, cell invasion and migration were evaluated through a Transwell assay. The expression levels of the cell apoptosis and tumor metastasis associated proteins B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein, E-cadherin, Twist, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and MMP2 were measured via western blotting. PYGB exhibited a higher expression level in the osteosarcoma tissue samples, particularly in the human osteosarcoma cell lines MG63 and HOS. Knockdown of PYGB resulted in a decline in cell proliferation, invasion and migration, which was coupled with induced cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in MG63 and HOS cells. Furthermore, alterations in the expression of apoptosis and metastasis associated proteins indicated that small interfering (si)PYGB may have regulated cell viability by targeting the Bcl/Caspase and cyclin dependent kinase (CDK)-1 signaling pathway. In conclusion, PYGB siRNA exerted an inhibitory effect on the cell viability of the human osteosarcoma cells MG63 and HOS by blocking the Caspase/Bcl and CDK1 signaling pathway, highlighting novel potential therapeutic methods for treating osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Second primary malignancy (SPM) is a severe issue for cancer survivors, particularly for osteosarcoma (OS) survivors. To date, the associations between subsequent SPM and OS have been well reported. Hematogenic and solid malignancies tend to occur following OS treatment. Reportedly, 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is mainly used in OS patients for initial cancer staging, to evaluate the response of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and when recurrence or metastasis is clinically suspected. The present case report describes a 70-year-old man diagnosed with three primary malignancies: jaw OS, myelodysplastic syndrome and colorectal adenocarcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, this combination of malignancies has not been reported previously. Until now, there is no specific protocol of postoperative FDG-PET for OS patients. Few studies have described OS follow-up methods; therefore, there is no consensus on proper follow-up methods. In the present case report, the colorectal early-stage SPM was observed, without any symptoms, by FDG-PET/computed tomography. To avoid overlooking solid SPMs, it is suggested that FDG-PET should be performed in the long-term follow-up of OS patients.

Abstract
Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome (t-AML/MDS) is a devastating late effect of cancer treatment. There is limited data on incidence of t-AML/MDS from India. We retrospectively studied pediatric t AML/MDS at our institute between January 1996 and December 2015. Among 1285 children, 8 patients developed t-AML with a median age of 15.5 years. Overall incidence of t-AML/MDS was 0.62% [0.99% (4/402) in solid tumours and 0.45% (4/883) in leukemia/lymphoma, P = 0.26] with 6390 patient years of follow up. Primary malignancy included sarcoma [bone (2), soft tissue (2)], B-non-Hodgkin lymphoma (2) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (2). The median cumulative equivalent doses of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and etoposide were 6.8, 270 and 2.5 gm/m2 respectively. Two patients received radiotherapy [rhabdomyosarcoma (50 Gy), synovial sarcoma (45 Gy)]. The median latency period to develop t-AML/MDS was 24 months (range 16.5-62 months). Most common FAB morphology was M4/M5 (7/8) and cytogenetic abnormality was MLL rearrangement (4/8). Five patients opted for treatment, 4 achieved remission out of which 2 patients are alive and disease free. Short latency periods, absence of pre-leukemic phase and 11q23 translocations were characteristic in the patients with t-AML/MDS. In view of poor outcome with conventional therapy, novel strategies and prevention need to be considered.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide-induced bladder malignancy is a well-known entity mediated by its metabolic product, acrolein. There is a significant association between the incidence of hemorrhagic cystitis during treatment and the later development of malignancies. We report a case of multifocal urothelial carcinoma occurring in a patient treated with ifosfamide 19 years ago. No case report of ifosfamide-induced malignancy could be identified in the literature. A brief review of the literature on the relative risks of ifosfamide therapy, the mechanism of bladder toxicity, and suggestions to minimize the deleterious effects of the drug have been done. Ifosfamide should be used in the lowest possible dose and that patients receiving more than 20 grams of the drug should undergo a routine urinalysis for microscopic hematuria. Prophylactic measures such as high fluid intake, frequent voiding, day time administration of the drug, and concomitant use of mesna may decrease the contact time and the concentrations of toxic metabolites on the bladder urothelium

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in Egypt. Ezrin is involved in cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix and in cell-cell interactions facilitating metastasis. HER2/neu is overexpressed in breast cancer and other types of cancer. This study aimed to assess the expression of ezrin and HER2/neu in 57 primary osteosarcoma cases and to correlate their expression with the available clinicopathologic parameters and the overall, metastasis-free and event-free survival. Both ezrin and HER2/neu were not expressed in the normal bone and they were upregulated in 82.5% and 71.9% of osteosarcoma, respectively. Positive ezrin expression was significantly associated with young age (below 25 y) (P=0.01), high grade (P=0.001), and short survival time (P=0.0001). Positive HER2/neu expression was significantly associated with high-grade osteosarcoma (P=0.04). Membranous HER2/neu expression was the only factor that showed significant impact on metastasis-free (P=0.002) and event-free survival (P=0.002). Ezrin was significantly correlated with HER2/neu expression (P=0.02). Advanced stage (P=0.0001), metastasis (P=0.0001), and recurrence (P=0.01) were the factors affecting the overall survival of osteosarcoma patients. Ezrin and HER2/neu are overexpressed and coexpressed in osteosarcoma with adverse prognostic features such as high grade. Membranous pattern of HER2/neu seems to be more important than the cytoplasmic pattern because of its impact on metastasis-free and event-free survival. Therefore, ezrin and HER2/neu could be potential prognostic markers and treatment targets for osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Although prognosis in patients with localized osteosarcoma has been dramatically improved by the introduction of multiple chemotherapy agents known as combination chemotherapy, there is growing concern about the development of secondary malignant neoplasms. We report the case of a 13-year-old girl in whom the diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma of bone localized on the shaft of left femur was made 2 years after successful treatment without radiotherapy for osteosarcoma of right proximal femur. EWS-FLI1 fusion gene was detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. To our knowledge, this is the first case with Ewing sarcoma of the bone as a secondary malignant neoplasm developed in osteosarcoma survivor. We collected 15 cases, included this case, with secondary Ewing sarcoma family of tumor by utilizing the PubMed search and might consider the causes of this secondary cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze the impacts of chemotherapeutic agent exposures on the development of secondary malignant neoplasms (SMP) after osteosarcoma. METHODS Of 132 patients who had been treated for high-grade extremity osteosarcoma from September 1992 to September 2008, 90 survivors were retrospectively reviewed. Fifty-eight of the survivors received a doublet of doxorubicin (ADR) and cisplatin (DDP), and 32 received a triplet of ADR, DDP, and ifosfamide (Ifos). On the basis of the dose distributions in the study cohort, the association between SMN and the cumulative dose of each agent was evaluated. RESULTS After a mean of 13.1 years of follow-up, six SMNs were noted, three in each regimen. There were no SMNs among 42 patients who died of osteosarcoma. In Kaplan-Meier estimates, the triplet regimen group showed a higher cumulative incidence and shorter latency for SMNs than the doublet group (log rank P = 0.032). Fifteen years' cumulative incidence of SMNs in the triplet and doublet regimen group was 9.4 and 3.8%, respectively. In the independent t test, the mean latency to SMN in the triplet group (3.7 ± 1.3 years) was shorter than that in the double group (13.1 ± 2.8 years) (P = 0.017). In Cox regression, the alkylating agent score (AAS) [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.459, P = 0.015] and DDP (HR = 1.779, P = 0.046) showed a significant relationship with SMNs, whereas ADR (HR = 0.896, P = 0.664) and Ifos (HR = 3.694, P = 0.119) did not. AAS was also significant after adjusting for ADR and DDP (HR = 3.319, P = 0.020). CONCLUSIONS High cumulative AAS is an independent risk factor for SMN and its early-onset development after osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Long-term outcome for patients with high-grade osteosarcoma has improved with the addition of systemic chemotherapy, but subsequent progress has been less marked. Modern, multiagent, dose-intensive chemotherapy in conjunction with surgery achieves a 5-year event-free survival of 60-70% in extremity localized, non-metastatic disease. A major, as yet unsolved, problem is the poor prognosis for metastatic relapse or recurrence, and for patients with axial disease. This article reviews the current state of the art of systemic osteosarcoma therapy by focusing on the experiences of cooperative osteosarcoma groups. Also, we shed light on questions and challenges posed by the aggressiveness of the tumor, and we consider potential future directions that may be critical to progress in the prognosis of high-grade osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Although children with osteosarcoma have a higher incidence of a 2nd malignancy than the general population, its development in the lung is rare. The few reported cases belong to examples of carcinomas. Here we present the case of a 13-year-old boy with a primary pulmonary adenocarcinoma diagnosed 3 years after the osteosarcoma diagnosis and present a review of the literature.

Abstract
Secondary rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) after treatment of osteosarcoma (OS) is rare. Reported here is the case of a metachronous RMS in the nasal cavity, developing 12 years after successful treatment of non-metastatic OS. The patient was diagnosed as having OS of the femur at 2 years of age. Chemotherapy for OS included doxorubicin (cumulative dose, 488 mg/m(2) ). No radiotherapy was given. There was no family history suggestive of cancer predisposition syndrome. At 14 years of age, alveolar RMS was diagnosed on histopathology. PAX3-FKHR fusion transcripts were detected on reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Germline TP53 mutation was not seen on standard DNA sequencing. The occurrence of secondary sarcomas, in the Children's Cancer Survivor study conducted in North America, has been associated with high cumulative doses of anthracyclines, which may also have played a role in the development of RMS in the present case. In the future, novel molecular technologies might uncover genetic cancer predisposition in patients with metachronous cancers.

Abstract
Background Primary lung cancer is extremely rare in children, while secondary malignancies reportedly develop in 2% to 3% of pediatric osteosarcoma survivors. Case presentation A 14-year-old girl was found to have two pulmonary lesions on computed tomography. These tumors had developed 1 year after osteosarcoma surgery. Segmentectomy of right segment 1 and wedge resection of right segment 9 were performed. Both lesions were completely resected and postoperative histopathological examination revealed metastasis of osteosarcoma and bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, respectively. Conclusion Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma may present as a solitary pulmonary lesion indistinguishable from a metastatic lesion and should be included in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary lesions in survivors of pediatric cancer. Thus, pulmonary lesions identified in these patients should be biopsied or resected to establish a histological diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma survivors have received significant chemotherapy and have undergone substantial surgeries. Their very long-term outcomes (20 year) are reported here. METHODS The authors assessed the long-term outcomes of 733 5-year survivors of childhood osteosarcoma diagnosed from 1970 to 1986 to provide a comprehensive evaluation of medical and psychosocial outcomes for survivors enrolled in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS). Outcomes evaluated included overall survival, second malignant neoplasms (SMNs), recurrent osteosarcoma, chronic health conditions, health status (general and mental health and functional limitations), and psychosocial factors. Outcomes of osteosarcoma survivors were compared with general-population statistics, other CCSS survivors, and CCSS siblings. RESULTS Survivors had a mean follow-up of 21.6 years. The overall survival of children diagnosed with osteosarcoma who survived 5 years at 20 years from original diagnosis was 88.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 86.6%-90.5%). The cumulative incidence of SMNs at 25 years was 5.4%, with a standardized incidence ratio of 4.79 (95% CI, 3.54-6.33; P<.01). Overall, 86.9% of osteosarcoma survivors experienced at least 1 chronic medical condition, and >50% experienced ≥2 conditions. Compared with survivors of other cancers, osteosarcoma survivors did not differ in their reported general health status (odds ratio [OR], 0.9; 95% CI, 0.7-1.2), but were more likely to report an adverse health status in at least 1 domain (OR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.6-2.2), with activity limitations (29.1%) being the most common. CONCLUSIONS Childhood osteosarcoma survivors in this cohort did relatively well, considering their extensive treatment, but are at risk of experiencing chronic medical conditions and adverse health status. Survivors warrant life-long follow-up.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma derives from primitive bone-forming mesenchymal cells and is the most common primary bone malignancy. The incidence rates and 95% confidence intervals of osteosarcoma for all races and both sexes are 4.0 (3.5-4.6) for the range 0-14 years and 5.0 (4.6-5.6) for the range 0-19 years per year per million persons. Among childhood cancers, osteosarcoma occurs eighth in general incidence and in the following order: leukemia (30%), brain and other nervous system cancers (22.3%), neuroblastoma (7.3%), Wilms tumor (5.6%), Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (4.5%), rhabdomyosarcoma (3.1%), retinoblastoma (2.8%), osteosarcoma (2.4%), and Ewing sarcoma (1.4%). The incidence rates of childhood and adolescent osteosarcoma with 95% confidence intervals areas follows: Blacks, 6.8/year/million; Hispanics, 6.5/year/million; and Caucasians, 4.6/year/million. Osteosarcoma has a bimodal age distribution, having the first peak during adolescence and the second peak in older adulthood. The first peak is in the 10-14-year-old age group, coinciding with the pubertal growth spurt. This suggests a close relationship between the adolescent growth spurt and osteosarcoma. The second osteosarcoma peak is in adults older than 65 years of age; it is more likely to represent a second malignancy, frequently related to Paget's disease. The incidence of osteosarcoma has always been considered to be higher in males than in females, occurring at a rate of 5.4 per million persons per year in males vs. 4.0 per million in females, with a higher incidence in blacks (6.8 per million persons per year) and Hispanics (6.5 per million), than in whites (4.6 per million). Osteosarcoma commonly occurs in the long bones of the extremities near the metaphyseal growth plates. The most common sites are the femur (42%, with 75% of tumors in the distal femur), the tibia (19%, with 80% of tumors in the proximal tibia), and the humerus (10%, with 90% of tumors in the proximal humerus). Other likely locations are the skull or jaw (8%) and the pelvis (8%). Cancer deaths due to bone and joint malignant neoplasms represent 8.9% of all childhood and adolescent cancer deaths. Death rates for osteosarcoma have been declining by about 1.3% per year. The overall 5-year survival rate for osteosarcoma is 68%, without significant gender difference. The age of the patient is correlated with the survival, with the poorest survival among older patients. Complete surgical excision is important to ensure an optimum outcome. Tumor staging, presence of metastases, local recurrence, chemotherapy regimen, anatomic location, size of the tumor, and percentage of tumor cells destroyed after neoadjuvant chemotherapy have effects on the outcome.

Abstract
Secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML) is a rare complication following chemotherapy for osteogenic sarcoma. However, the exact offending drug is difficult to prove as there is no consistent data. It usually develops 2 years after completion of therapy. We report a case of sAML that developed within 8 months of completing the treatment. The patient was treated with cisplatin, doxorubicin and high-dose methotreaxate followed by surgery (amputation). Eight months after completion of therapy, while on follow-up, he presented with leukocytosis and thrombocytopenia and confirmed to have AML.

Abstract
Therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia (t-MDS/AML) is a long-term complication of pediatric cancer. We retrospectively studied pediatric t-MDS/AML patients treated at MD Anderson from 1975 to 2007. We also compared those patients to pediatric patients with de novo MDS/AML during this time interval. Among 2589 children with cancer treated at MD Anderson, we identified 22 patients with t-MDS/AML. Patients with t-MDS/AML had a median age of 14 years. There was a male and Hispanic predominance. The most common primary malignancies were osteosarcoma and Hodgkin lymphoma. The median latency period was 4.1 years. Three patients received supportive care only. Group 1 (n=5) underwent stem cell transplantation without induction chemotherapy. Group 2 (n=5) patients received AML-type chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant postremission (n=5). Group 3 (n=4) received a stem cell transplant as salvage therapy. The respective 2-year survival rates for groups 1, 2, and 3 were 20%, 40%, and 25% (P=0.85). Patients with de novo AML were younger (P=0.001) and higher rates of complete remission (P=0.03), and survival (P<0.0001). Independent factors predicting shorter survival were poor/intermediate-risk cytogenetics (P=0.01), lower hemoglobin level (P=0.0001), and t-MDS/AML (vs. de novo) (P=0.003). Childhood t-MDS/AML has a poor prognosis. Although patients benefited from AML-type induction chemotherapy followed by stem cell transplantation as postremission therapy, effective therapies, and prevention are needed.

Abstract
We report a case of treatment-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) in a 16-year-old male following treatment for osteosarcoma (OS). He had been treated with a protocol comprising neoadjuvant chemotherapy, definitive surgery with wide excision and adjuvant chemotherapy for OS. Four months after completion of the treatment, a routine hemogram showed hyperleukocytosis with 90% blasts. Bone marrow aspirate and a chromosomal analysis disclosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), M5b with 46, XY, t(11;19)(q23;p13.3). The t-AML was characterized by early development (just 4 months after completion of chemotherapy for OS) and generalized leukemia cutis. The patient received an alkylating agent (ifosfamide) and DNA topoisomerase II-targeted drugs (etoposide and doxorubicin). In terms of latency, cytogenetics, and presentation, DNA topoisomerase II-targeted drug-related leukemia seemed likely for this patient. Clinically, his leukemia cutis had developed during a nadir in white blood cell count after the first induction of chemotherapy for AML. The rapid progression and its refractoriness to chemotherapy were poor prognostic signs.

Abstract
Second malignancies occur in 2-3% of survivors of pediatric osteosarcoma; treatment-related hematologic and solid malignancies have both been described. We present two cases of patients with pulmonary nodules that developed more than 2 years after treatment of osteosarcoma. Both lesions were completely resected and pathology revealed bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC). Primary BAC is extremely rare in children; however, cases of this malignancy have been described in survivors of pediatric cancer. BAC may present as a solitary pulmonary nodule indistinguishable from a metastatic lesion and should be included in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary nodules in survivors of pediatric cancer.

Abstract
A 16-year-old Caucasian male was diagnosed with a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) 5 years following the diagnosis of nonmetastatic osteosarcoma of the left proximal humerus. The patient was initially treated with standard chemotherapy and limb salvage resection for osteosarcoma. Nine months after the completion of therapy, he developed lung metastases for which he underwent surgical resection and received additional chemotherapy. Almost 5 years after the osteosarcoma diagnosis, the patient was diagnosed with a supratentorial PNET, which represents the first known case reported in a patient with osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Patients with suspected or confirmed osteosarcoma should be evaluated and treated at a comprehensive cancer center within a multidisciplinary sarcoma program that includes pediatric, medical and radiation oncologists, orthopedic and surgical oncologists, musculoskeletal pathologists, and radiologists. Successful treatment involves proper diagnosis, neoadjuvant and adjuvant multi-agent chemotherapy, and aggressive surgery with an emphasis toward limb-preserving procedures. Treatment of osteosarcoma should be undertaken within the framework of large cooperative group clinical trials for children, adolescents, and adults. Patients treated with osteosarcoma should be followed closely both for recurrence of disease and for development of late effects of the treatment of their cancer. The treatment of metastatic, recurrent and/or refractory disease is more controversial. Despite advances in systemic treatment, surgical technique, and supportive care, the overall outcome is still poor.

Abstract
The Bone Tumor Center of the "Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli" was established in 1955 with the aim of studying and treating the musculoskeletal tumors. Between 1959 and 2006, 1245 patients with high grade nonmetastatic osteosarcoma of the extremity were treated at our Institute. Most of them were enrolled in study protocols. In the "prechemotherapy era", the cure rate was 11%, with an amputation rate of 90%. Our first experience with adjuvant chemotherapy was in 1972. A total of 223 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy, with a disease-free survival (DFS) ranging from 45% to 53%, according to the chemotherapy protocol used. With the introduction of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the resection rate increased and reached 94%, when high dose fosfamide was added to standard doses of methotrexate, cisplatin, and adriamycin. In the last few years, the results of treatment of nonmetastatic osteosarcoma of the extremity have reached a plateau (64% five-year DFS), and strategies of dose intensification are not able to improve the prognosis. Not only new active drugs, but also different approaches to the disease, are needed. In this regard, we are now investigating tumor microenvironment-targeted agents and chemotherapy protocols based on prospective biological stratification of patients. Collaborative projects with international groups and institutions are crucial for this rare disease.

The coexistence of invasive ductal carcinoma and malignant phyllodes tumor with liposarcomatous and chondrosarcomatous differentiation in the same breast in a post-osteosarcoma case. Pathol Res Pract 2008; 204:919-23.

Abstract
Malignant phyllodes tumors of the breast are rare biphasic neoplasms, the stromal component of which may show homologous and heterologous sarcomatous elements. Malignant epithelial transformation is rare. It has been reported in a few cases of in situ and infiltrating ductal or lobular carcinoma. Rarely, breast carcinomas and phyllodes tumors may also develop in the same breast independent of each other. To our knowledge, this is the first case of two different types of tumor occurring in the same breast at the same time in a post-osteosarcoma case.

Abstract
We report two cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma occurring after the successful treatment of osteosarcoma. One of the patients was administered with several alkylating agents and topoisomerase II inhibitor as part of the primary treatment of osteosarcoma. The onset of thyroid carcinoma occurred after 5 and 12 yr after cessation of the osteosarcoma therapy. All the patients involved in this study are alive and free of their malignancies. There have been eight case reports of these two malignancies occurring in the same patient. Thyroid carcinoma rarely occurs in patients with osteosarcoma; however, vigilant surveillance and long-term follow-up should be emphasized for all survivors.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The most recent developments regarding chemotherapy treatment of osteogenic sarcoma are reviewed, with special emphasis on prospective clinical trials and evaluations of late effects of chemotherapy. RECENT FINDINGS In recent years, clinical research has essentially focused on possible refinements of the classic four-drug (methotrexate, cisplatin, doxorubicin and ifosfamide) therapy rather than investigating new drugs. It has been demonstrated that dose-intensification does not improve prognosis. Many investigators have evaluated late chemotherapy-related side effects, particularly in terms of cardiac, renal and auditive toxicity, risk of infertility and of second tumors. Recent findings recommend further studies to define the role of the immunostimulating agent muramyl tripeptide-phosphatidilethanolamine in osteosarcoma. Preclinical and phase II studies suggest an activity of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors in osteosarcoma, which also deserves further clinical studies. SUMMARY At present, patients with nonmetastatic osteosarcoma of the extremity aged less than 40 years have an expected 5-year survival rate of 70% with a chemotherapy regimen based on methotrexate, cisplatin, doxorubicin and ifosfamide. Further improvement cannot be achieved by dose intensification of treatment and new strategies are required. Prolonged follow-up is mandatory due to the risk of late effects, second tumors and late relapse from osteosarcoma.
