Abstract
Introduction: Osteosarcoma is the most frequent bone tumor in children. Survival of patients who do not have metastases at the beginning has not changed in the last decade; there are studies that suggest the benefit of the use of new molecules such as mifamurtide. Methods: We described the variables of interest in 8 patients under 18 years of age with high-grade non-metastatic osteosarcoma, who received management with conventional chemotherapy and mifamurtide as adjuvant in 2 Colombian institutions between 2014 and 2017. Results: The majority of the patients had femoral compromise due to conventional osteosarcoma, all of them received management with pre and post-surgical chemotherapy, 75 % of the patients were taken to limb salvage. In total, 375 cycles of mifamurtide were evaluated (2 mg/m2 of total body surface area). There were adverse effects in 7 of the 375 cycles administered (1.87%); these occurred in 4 of the 8 patients participating in the study; at the end of the study, 6 of 8 patients were alive. Conclusions: In the patients evaluated, the use of mifamurtide was well tolerated, however due to the type of study it can´t be determined if the use of this medication had an impact on survival.
