There are limited data that define the role of chemotherapy in the treatment of high-grade spindle cell sarcomas of bone, other than osteosarcoma or malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH-B). This prospective study evaluates the effect of doxorubicin and cisplatin on these tumours. Thirty-seven patients, age 65 years, with spindle cell sarcoma of bone, except osteosarcoma or MFH-B, were included. Chemotherapy consisted of doxorubicin and cisplatin every 3 weeks for six cycles. Resection was performed after three cycles. In 15 patients with metastases, response assessment showed three complete responses (CR), four stable disease (SD), five progression; three were not evaluable. Median time to progression was 30 months (95% Confidence Interval (CI), 8-51 months) for the operable non-metastatic patients; median survival 41 months (95% CI, 16-82 months). Median time to progression in the metastatic group was 10 months (95% CI, 0-18 months) and median survival was 14 months (95% CI, 4-45 months). This study suggests a limited role for doxorubicin and cisplatin in metastatic high-grade spindle cell sarcoma of bone, other than osteosarcoma or MFH-B cases.
