| Research Abstract |
We have evaluated the effect of anti-angiogenic therapy using endostatin on postoperative progression of pulmonary metastasis in osteosarcoma. Infection of a recombinant adonovirus which encodes endostatin cDNA after primary tumor removal suppressed the postoperative upregulation of systemic angiogenic activity and kept micrometastases dormant, which resulted in the prevention of progression of pulmonary metastasis. Our results indicate that anti-angiogenic therapy using endostatin has the potential to prevent postoperative progression of pulmonary metastasis in osteosarcoma. Although this therapeutic strategy cannot provide a cure for osteosarcoma, it should enable osteosarcoma patients to coexist with dormant pulmonary metastasis, and lead to the improvement of their prognosis.
