description This study aimed to assess survival outcomes, prognostic factors, and adverse events following chemotherapy treatment for osteosarcoma and Ewing’s sarcoma. This retrospective observational study was conducted to collect the data of the patients with osteosarcoma or Ewing’s sarcoma who received chemotherapy treatment between 2008 and 2019. The flexible parametric survival model was performed to explore the adjusted survival probability and the prognostic factors. A total of 102 patients (79 with osteosarcoma and 23 with Ewing’s sarcoma) were included. The estimated 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and 5-year overall survival (OS) probabilities in patients with resectable disease were 60.9% and 63.3% for osteosarcoma, and 54.4% and 88.3% for Ewing’s sarcoma, respectively, whereas the 5-year DFS and 5-year OS for those with unresectable/metastatic disease remained below 25%. Two prognostic factors for osteosarcoma included a response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and female gender. Ewing’s sarcoma patients aged 25 years and older were significantly associated with poorer survival outcomes. Of 181 chemotherapy treatment cycles, common self-reported adverse symptoms included tumor pain (<i>n</i> = 32, 17.7%), fever (<i>n</i> = 21, 11.6%), and fatigue (<i>n</i> = 16, 8.8%), while common grade III adverse events included febrile neutropenia (<i>n</i> = 13, 7.3%) and neutropenia (<i>n</i> = 9, 5.1%). There was no chemotherapy-related mortality (grade V) or anaphylaxis events.
