To determine the role of chemotherapy in the multidisciplinary treatment of patients with osteosarcoma, a randomized prospective trial of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy was begun in 1981. Fifty-nine patients with nonmetastatic classic intramedullary osteosarcoma were randomized; 32 received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of high-dose methotrexate, Adriamycin (Adria Laboratories, Columbus, OH), and BCD (bleomycin, cytoxan, actinomycin D), and 27 patients received no adjuvant chemotherapy. At a median follow-up of 2 years, there was a statistically significant improvement in both disease-free and overall survival in those who received adjuvant chemotherapy. In addition, there was no difference in the less than 20% disease-free or overall survival of patients treated in the 1970s who did not receive chemotherapy, as compared with the concurrent nontreatment controls. Therefore, with identical staging procedures, uniform surgical management, and standard pathologic evaluation, postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy definitely improves disease-free and overall survival in patients with osteosarcoma.

Randomized Prospective Trial

Inflammation in the nasal mucosa may lead to epiphora by causing edema around the orifice of the nasolacrimal duct. We present and discuss three cases where simple treatment of rhinitis led to the resolution of the presenting symptom of epiphora, avoiding the need for surgery. A randomized prospective trial of topical nasal corticosteroids in the management of epiphora associated with rhinitis is in progress.
