1975 -1985 Advances Surgery and Radiation Therapy for Soft Tissue Sarcoma became standard • Limb salvage rate increased from 50% 90-95% • No compromise in survival
1993 – 1994 Suit Founded Connective Tissue Oncology Society (CTOS) • 1993 - 1994 Planning Meetings • 1995 - CTOS Founded • 1997 - CTOS Incorporated

1975 -1985 Advances Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) performed multi-institutional studies on: • Biopsy - Mankin • Staging - Enneking • Limb salvage - Simon
1975 -1985 Advances Limb salvage & Neoadjuvant chemotherapy established for Osteosarcoma and Ewings • Limb salvage rate increased from α5 -10% α90-95% • Osteosarcoma survival rate increased from α20% α65% • Ewings Sarcoma survival rate increased from α5 -10% α65%
Thoracotomy cures overall about 10% of Osteosarcoma patients 1975 -1990 Advances
1980 -1990 Huge Imaging Advances • CT Lungs • Staging • Thoracotomy decisions/planning • MRI of Limbs • Limb salvage predictable and safe
1975 -1990 Surgical Advances in Skeletal Reconstruction • Allograft and/or Prosthetic • reconstruction for skeletal defects in • bone sarcomas
1990 – Present What progress has been made in the last 15 years when compared to 1975-1990?
1990 – Present: Perfecting Current Techniques • Surgery • skeletal reconstruction on allograft vs. prosthetic replacement for bone sarcomas • Radiation Therapy for Soft Tissue Sarcomas • pre-op vs. post operative RT • Medical Oncology for Bone Sarcomas • dose intensity • combination changes
