| Description | At present, the therapeutic success in the treatment of bone sarcoma is significantly higher compared to historical cohorts with 60-70% overall survival. Unfortunately, no progress in better survival of patients with relapsing and refractory bone sarcomas has been observed during the last twenty years. This article provides a summary description of investigated targeted-therapy methods applied in the treatment of bone sarcomas that may give patients suffering from relapsing and chemoresistant bone sarcomas a better chance of survival. The majority of the targeted drugs are being administered within the scope of phase 1 or 2 studies. |
