  • Title: [The value of computed tomography in monitoring the preoperative chemotherapy of osteosarcoma].
    Author: Rotte KH, Kriedemann E, Geyer J, Kunde D, Melcher J, Perlick E, Schmidt-Peter P.
    Journal: Rofo; 1989 Jan; 150(1):8-12. PubMed ID: 2536502.
    Abstract:
    Computed tomography was performed in 45 patients with osteosarcomas before and after preoperative chemotherapy. Changes of bone alterations, intramedullary tumour spread and the size of soft tissue masses are computer tomographic criteria for tumour response after chemotherapy. The computed tomography decision of responder or non-responder was correct in 37/45 patients. In comparison with conventional x-rays CT was superior. CT is a reliable method for preoperative extension diagnosis and for the decision-marking for limb-saving operations.
