Recurrent Osteosarcoma
Treatment depends on where the cancer recurred, what kind of treatment was
given before, as well as other factors. A clinical trial may be a reasonable
treatment option.
If the cancer has come back only in the lungs, treatment may be surgery to
remove the cancer in the lungs with or without chemotherapy. If the cancer has
come back in other places besides the lungs, treatment may be combination
chemotherapy. Clinical trials are evaluating new chemotherapy drugs and peripheral stem cell support as palliative therapy, to relieve pain and improve quality of life.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with recurrent osteosarcoma and recurrent childhood malignant fibrous histiocytoma of bone. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
