In high-grade musculoskeletal sarcomas, adjuvant chemotherapy is often performed to prevent distant metastases. The efficacy of chemotherapy varies according to the histological type of sarcoma. Prognoses are poor in patients with osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, or rhabdomyosarcoma, when surgery alone is performed. However, because these sarcomas are chemosensitive, their prognoses are improved with adjuvant chemotherapy. On the other hand, the efficacy of chemotherapy is not statistically demonstrated in non-round cell sarcomas, e. g., malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Nowadays, several kinds of antitumor agents are usually used for adjuvant chemotherapy, and many authors have reported various kinds of regimens and their clinical results. Commonly used drugs include adriamycin, ifosfamide, cisplatin, methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, dacarbazine, vincristine, and actinomycin-D. Recently, high-dose chemotherapy combined with autologous peripheral blood or bone marrow stem cell transplantation has been begun in patients who do not respond to standard chemotherapy, and a better prognosis is expected.
