Introduction: The management of pediatric high grade osteosarcoma is lacking new approaches to classify closely the patients and adapt thereafter the treatment initially or post-operatively. The objective of this study was to estimate the impact of the tumor molecular response comparatively to initial biopsy and to see if this molecular analysis was correlated to the histological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and/or prognosis.
Material and methods: 33 patients were included and allelotyping analyses using 23 micro satellites were performed on biopsy’s and tumor’s DNA versus normal blood DNA. Allelic imbalances were detected in all biopsy samples and the number of persistent AIs or not were quantified on tumors after pre-operative chemotherapy.
Results: We identified 4 subgroups with a significant.. Read More»
