Six patients with osteosarcoma and no evidence of metastases received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with high-dose cyclophosphamide (25 mg/kg iv every other day for five doses). Three of these patients are alive without evidence of disease at 2 1/2, 3, and 5 years following diagnosis. The regimen was tolerable in terms of toxicity. Cyclophosphamide in high doses may be effective adjuvant therapy in some patients with osteosarcoma.
