Osteosarcoma of the Breast in a Patient Derived Orthotopic Xenograft (PDOX) Mouse Model Is Arrested by both Cisplatinum and Eribulin

Résumé fourni par la source

BACKGROUND/AIM: Primary osteosarcoma of the mammary gland is a very rare disease, accounting for less than 1% of all mammary malignancies. There is no established first-line treatment and the prognosis is poor compared to normal breast cancer. We previously established the first patient tumor-derived animal model of this disease, grown subcutaneously in nude mice. In the present study, we established a patient derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) model of osteosarcoma of the breast and investigated the efficacy of cisplatinum (CDDP) and eribulin (ERB). MATERIALS AND METHODS: PDOX models of primary osteosarcoma of the breast were divided into 3 groups (5-6 mice per group): untreated control; CDDP treatment; ERB treatment. The tumor volume in the 3 groups was compared after 2 weeks. RESULTS: There were significant differences between control and CDDP, and control and ERB (p=0.036, 0.046, respectively). However, there was no significant difference between CDDP and ERB (p=0.964). CONCLUSION: CDDP and ERB are candidates for first-line clinical therapy of primary osteosarcoma of the breast.
