Abstract

Background: The prognostic value of histologic response for osteosarcoma may have changed with induction chemotherapy schedules over time. We hypothesized that the increased intensity of induction therapy provided on INT0133 compared to the Children's Cancer Group study CCG‐782 would diminish the impact of histologic response on the risk of events after definitive surgery. Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed for patients aged <22 with newly diagnosed nonmetastatic osteosarcoma enrolled on CCG‐782 and INT0133. Clinical factors were evaluated for association with response and outcome. Good response was defined as <5% viable tumor at resection. Associations of response, study, and postdefinitive surgery event‐free survival (EFS‐DS) were determined using Cox proportional hazard models. EFS‐DS was estimated by Kaplan–Meier methodology. Results: Data were available for 814 patients (206 CCG‐782, 608 INT0133). For good responders, 10‐year EFS‐DS (±SE) was 75.4% ± 7.7% for CCG‐782 and 70.8% ± 3.1% for INT0133. For poor responders, 10‐year EFS‐DS was 39.9% ± 4.9% for CCG‐782 and 58.4% ± 3.1% for INT0133. Histologic response predicted outcome across studies (P < 0.0001). Significant interaction between study and histologic response was observed for EFS‐DS (P = 0.011). Using proportional hazards regression, INT0133 poor responders had less risk of events compared to CCG‐782 poor responders (relative hazard ratio (RHR) = 0.6:1), but good responders on INT0133 had a greater risk of events compared to CCG‐782 good responders (RHR = 1.53:1). Conclusion: We observed an inverse relationship between the predictive value of tumor necrosis and intensity of induction therapy, raising questions about the true prognostic value of histologic response. This highlights the need for novel markers to develop strategies for treatment in future trials.

  • The demarcation between good and poor response varied between studies, corresponding to 90-98% tumour necrosis in the resection specimen.

    “With differences in percentages ascribed to each, the demarcation between good and poor response varied between studies (90-98% tumour necrosis in the resection specimen) 117 .”

    From Osteosarcoma (2022) · cites this paper as [117]

  • Prognosis improvement seems linear with increasing necrosis, with some studies setting the good/poor cut-off between grades 2 and 3 and others between grades 3 and 4.

    “The improvement in prognosis seems linear with increasing necrosis, with some studies setting the cut-off point between good and poor between grades 2 and 3, whereas others have set it between grades 3 and 4.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
