Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of albumin to alkaline phosphatase ratio (AALPR) at survival in patients with metastatic bone sarcomas.
 Patients and Methods: 60 patients with metastatic bone sarcomas were included in the study. The relationship between AALPR before chemotherapy and overal survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) was evaluated with Cox regression multivariate analysis.
 Results: Of the patients in the study, 25 (58.3%) were osteosarcoma, 16 (26.7%) Ewing's sarcoma, 5 (8.3%) chondrosarcoma and 4 (6.7%) giant cell bone tumor. AALPR was 0.039 obtained in ROC analysis. The median PFS and OS at AALPR ≥ 0.039 group was statistically significantly higher than the group with
