ObjectiveTo explore the safety and efficacy of metastatic osteosarcoma treatment with combined sintilimab injection and chemotherapy.MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of 32 patients with metastatic osteosarcoma admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Beihua University between January 2019 and June 2020. The sample was divided into an observation group, treated with sintilimab injection combined with chemotherapy (n= 16) and a control group, treated with chemotherapy (n = 16). Clinical efficacy and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.ResultsThe overall response rates were 68.75% in the observation group and 31.25% in the control group (p < 0.05). The incidences of adverse reactions were 56.25% in the observation group and 81.25% in the control group. This was not a significant difference. In the observation group, the progression-free survival time was 8.13 ± 2.50 months, and the overall survival time was 22.75 ± 4.95 months. These were both significantly longer than the respective 6.44 ± 1.93 months and 19.69 ± 2.68 months in the control group (p < 0.05).ConclusionThe treatment of metastatic osteosarcoma with combined sintilimab injection and chemotherapy was found to prolong progression-free survival and overall survival time without increasing the incidence of adverse reactions.Copyright: © Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences.
