    Abstract:
    Preoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for skeletal and soft tissue sarcomas requires: (1) correct identification of the effective postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, (2) eradication of any of the micrometastatic foci that may have already occurred in many of the patients with these sarcomas, (3) easier and safer limb-salvage procedure, being clearly defined, with shrinkage of the primary lesion. For this purpose, a preoperative adjuvant chemotherapy regimen making practical use of intra-arterial CDDP (cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum II) infusion is desired in multi-drug combined chemotherapeutic treatment, including HDMTX (high-dose methotrexate), ADR (adriamycin) and CDDP. In this paper, the clinical application of preoperative adjuvant chemotherapy to skeletal and soft tissue sarcomas with combination of HDMTX and CDDP is presented in the light of the observations of tumor response to these anticancer agents, and the possibility of to establishing a new preoperative adjuvant protocol is discussed.
