Abstract

We have analyzed the long-term results of treatment in 70 patients with localized forms of osteosarcoma who received therapy at MRRC RAMS in the years 1990-2008. In IORT groups, the five-year recurrence-free survival rates for osteosarcoma (no recurrence) were significantly higher than those in control groups. IORT did not appear to increase the complication rate and hamper the single-stage reconstruction of osteoarticular defects.
