Abstrakt: Background: Efficacy of gemcitabine and docetaxel (GEM + DOC) chemotherapy in patients with recurrent or refractory osteosarcoma was evaluated.
Methods: Data of 53 patients from 9 institutions, who received GEM (675 or 900 mg/m(2) on days 1 and 8) and DOC (100 mg/m(2) on day 8), were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: GEM + DOC was administered as adjuvant (n = 25) or palliative chemotherapy (n = 28). Patients received a median 3 courses (range, 1-10 courses). Objective response rate (CR + PR, where CR is complete response and PR is partial response) and disease control rate (CR+ PR + SD, where SD is stable disease) were 14.3% and 28.6%, respectively. Disease control rate was higher in patients receiving 900 mg/m(2) GEM than in patients receiving 675 mg/m(2) (50.0% vs. 12.5%, P = 0.03). Higher GEM dose was associated with better survival, both in adjuvant (1-year overall survival, 90.9 ± 8.7% vs. 38.5 ± 13.5%, P = 0.002) and palliative settings (50.0 ± 14.4% vs. 31.3 ± 11.6%, P = 0.04).
Conclusions: Further studies are necessary to investigate the efficacy of more aggressive and higher doses of GEM + DOC chemotherapy in osteosarcoma.
