Abstract
The treatment of osteosarcoma has changed dramatically in the last decade. Neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy has significantly increased both survival and tumor resectability rates (Eilber et al. 1987; Bacci et al. 1987), and extremity preservation is an important goal of modern treatment (Wong et al. 1 9 8 6). Moreover, while historically osteosarcoma has been considered a “radioresistant” tumor type and there has been a lack of interest in exploring radiotherapy in the multidisciplinary approach to bone tumors (Sugimoto et al. 1989), in recent series this treatment modality has been employed in the local treatment of osteosarcoma of the extremities.
