Adjuvant chemotherapy for malignant fibrous histiocytoma in the femur and tibia.

Between 1974 and 1982, twelve patients with malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the femur and tibia were treated by excision and adjuvant chemotherapy. During the same time-period, eighteen patients were treated by excision alone. The disease-free survival rate among the former was 59 per cent (seven of twelve). There was only one survival in the latter group.
