RADIATION RESPONSE OF PULMONARY METASTATIC OSTEOSARCOMA
Abstract
Pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma still has fatal outcome in the Eastern country due to the low socioeconomic problem. Many of the patients cannot afford chemotherapy. Radiation treatment combined with chemotherapy has shown to be a very good response with some survivors. This study showed the benefit of the irradiation combined with chemotherapy over chemotherapy alone in 5 cases of pulmonary metastatic disease, the other 4 acted as a good adjuvant. Only one case, the lung nodule increased in size after radiation and chemotherapy but the pleural effusion has been controlled.
