Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma are the 2 most common primary malignant bone tumors in children.
In control mice, metastatic tumors were found within the lungs and in various abdominal organs.
We noted a statistically significant decrease in metastatic burden in mice with Ewing sarcoma treated with adjuvant DFMO (P = .045).
Moreover, mice treated with neoadjuvant ifosfamide in combination with adjuvant DFMO developed far fewer metastases compared with control mice or mice treated with ifosfamide alone (P = .0005).
With these promising results, we investigated the mechanism by which DFMO can prevent metastasis in both Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma.
