The efficacy and safety comparison of first-line chemotherapeutic agents (high-dose methotrexate, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and ifosfamide) for osteosarcoma: a network meta-analysis

Abstract: Background: Osteosarcoma, a primary malignant bone tumor derived from mesenchymal tissue, is the most common type of pleomorphic tumor that occurs in children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of high-dose methotrexate (M), doxorubicin (D), cisplatin (C), and ifosfamide (I) in the management of osteosarcoma. Methods: Electronic databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase database were searched for studies published from when the databases were establishe… Show more

“…Although they represent the main available treatment in osteosarcoma, chemotherapeutics are also toxic to normal tissue, and can lead to myelosuppression, opportunistic infection, heart damage and other adverse reactions, thereby decreasing the patient survival rate and quality of life ( 17 ). Therefore, new agents with fewer side effects and improved therapeutic advantages are required.…”

“…Current treatments for OS patients typically include surgery in combination with adjuvant and neo-adjuvant chemotherapeutic agents. The survival rate for metastatic OS patients is currently estimated at less than five years [ 2 ]. The existence of high levels of cellular heterogeneity, and the complexity of the molecular and genetic mechanisms associated with osteosarcomagenesis makes it extremely difficult to develop a singular therapeutic approach in the clinical setting.…”

“…OS is a primary malignant bone tumor derived from mesenchymal tissue [18]. Regardless of the orthopedic surgeon, oncologist, histopathologist, radiologist, and radiotherapist are applied to therapy, the survival rate of OS remains dismal [19,20].…”
