High-grade osteosarcoma (HGOS) is the most common malignant tumor of bone. One of the most active drugs for HGOS treatment is doxorubicin, which is invariably included in HGOS chemotherapy protocols together with methotrexate and cisplatin, with the possible addition of ifosfamide. Several studies have shown that HGOS patients may be inherently resistant to doxorubicin or may become unresponsive to this drug during chemotherapeutic treatment. In this review, we will analyze the new and most promising strategies based on doxorubicin regimens for the treatment of HGOS.

Abstract

High-grade osteosarcoma (HGOS) is the most common malignant tumor of bone. One of the most active drugs for HGOS treatment is doxorubicin, which is invariably included in HGOS chemotherapy protocols together with methotrexate and cisplatin, with the possible addition of ifosfamide. Several studies have shown that HGOS patients may be inherently resistant to doxorubicin or may become unresponsive to this drug during chemotherapeutic treatment. In this review, we will analyze the new and most promising strategies based on doxorubicin regimens for the treatment of HGOS.
