Surgery First for Osteosarcoma of the Arm or Leg
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests removing the tumor with surgery first, then following up with chemotherapy. It's for people with a new, high-grade osteosarcoma in an arm or leg that hasn't spread.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial combines four targeted drugs (gefitinib, trametinib, disulfiram, sunitinib) with standard chemotherapy to treat osteosarcoma that has spread or come back. The goal is to see if this drug mix helps shrink tumors or keep them from growing.
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy and targeted radiation before surgery for osteosarcoma that has spread to the lungs. It aims to see if this approach can help shrink or control the lung tumors and make surgery more effective.
This Phase 3 trial compares two ways to remove lung metastases (open surgery vs keyhole surgery) in people with osteosarcoma. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for patients with a limited number of lung spots that can be removed.
This trial tests whether combining an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab) with focused radiation and surgery can help people whose osteosarcoma has come back only in the lungs. It aims to see if this approach is safe and may improve outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, losartan and sunitinib, in people with osteosarcoma that has come back or spread after prior treatment. The study aims to see if this combination is safe and effective.
This study tests a radiation treatment called brachytherapy, which delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor. It is for people with osteosarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery and has not responded to other treatments. The goal is to shrink the tumor and control symptoms.
