°:

this patient received zoledronic acid together with the metronomic regimen.

*

this patient had a primary refractory metastatic osteosarcoma that progressed during the 2 first lines of chemotherapy. Metronomic chemotherapy was proposed as a maintenance therapy after obtaining surgical complete remission of both the primary tumour and bilateral lung metastasis. Monthly zoledronic acid was associated to the metronomic treatment.

**

this patients had a third metastatic relapse of rhabdomyosarcoma. Metronomic maintenance was proposed after obtaining surgical CR and irradiation of the metastatic site.

***

this patient was proposed maintenance therapy after obtaining a 3rd surgical complete remission of a metastatic osteosarcoma.

****

this patient with Hodgkin lymphoma underwent both high dose chemotherapy followed by peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for a relapse and autologous bone marrow transplantation for a subsequent relapse.

¤

The COMBAT protocol is a combination of metronomic etoposide, temzolomide, celecoxib and retinoic acid.

¤¤

patients with Li Fraumeni syndrom who developed an osteosarcoma as a third tumor.

In children, who received the protocol as maintenance therapy and who were in CR at treatment initiation, the best status was considered as stable disease.
