          Abstract

          Geller and colleagues report that adjuvant chemotherapy affected the adequacy of osteosarcoma local surgical control. Exogenous bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) did not increase local recurrence, but the limited theoretical benefits of BMP-2 for a subset of patients with osteosarcoma may not justify the systemic and long-term risks.
