As a result of the introduction of chemotherapy, the survival of children with osteosarcoma has improved dramatically. The majority of the currently used treatment protocols are based on a combination of doxorubicin, cisplatin, methotrexate (MTX) and/or ifosfamide, of which MTX seems to be one of the most active drugs. However, in the literature, this has not been unambiguously proven. A well-informed decision on the use of MTX in the treatment of children and young adults diagnosed with primary high-grade osteosarcoma should be based on high quality evidence on both antitumour effects and adverse effects.
