Aerosol Gemcitabine after Amputation Inhibits Osteosarcoma Lung Metastases but Not Wound Healing
Background In newly diagnosed osteosarcoma (OS) patients, the time between surgery and resumption of chemotherapy is 2-7 weeks. Delays > 16 days are associated with increased risk of relapse and decreased overall survival. Identifying an effective therapy that can be used postoperatively may prevent relapse. We investigated whether aerosol gemcitabine (GCB) initiated after tumor resection inhib...
متن کاملDecorin suppresses lung metastases of murine osteosarcoma.
Lung metastasis is the most crucial event affecting the therapeutic outcome of osteosarcoma. The prevention of lung metastasis is therefore important in improving the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma. Decorin is a major extracellular matrix protein which has become the focus of various cancer studies. The biological role of decorin in osteosarcoma has yet to be clarified. The aim of this...
متن کامل"Bubble-like" lung metastases in osteosarcoma patients.
PURPOSE Cavitation of pulmonary metastases have been reported by several authors either as a spontaneous phenomenon or as a consequence of chemotherapy. We present two cases, with this type of image in follow-up, and 20-45 months after the end of treatment. This was the first sign of pulmonary metastases. RESULTS Two patients with osteogenic sarcoma developed radiological evidence of pulmonar...
متن کاملPrimary Chondroblastic Osteosarcoma of the Lung

متن کامل9-Nitrocamptothecin liposome aerosol treatment of melanoma and osteosarcoma lung metastases in mice.
The response rates of relapsed osteosarcoma and melanoma pulmonary metastases to traditional i.v. chemotherapeutic regimens have been disappointing. Direct drug delivery of chemotherapy to the lungs could increase the drug concentration in the tumor area and may offer a new therapeutic approach for these patients. Previous studies demonstrated that drugs delivered to the respiratory tract in li...
