BACKGROUND:The clinical course of patients with uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is difficult to predict with the currently available categorical staging systems of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO). The objective of the current study was to develop and validate a novel, clinically relevant, individualized prognostic model...
BACKGROUND:The reported high rate of local recurrence (LR) in myxofibrosarcoma raises the question of whether this sarcoma histology should be considered radioresistant. In this study, the authors compared rates and patterns of LR of high‐grade (HG) myxofibrosarcoma with rates and patterns of HG leiomyosarcoma, which was chosen because of the similarity in incidence and general treatment approach...
BACKGROUND:Cancer survivors are at increased risk for second malignancies, and vigilance is thus required. The authors sought to determine whether there was an association among lymphoma, sarcoma, and the associated treatments for these diseases.
METHODS:From the authors' prospective soft tissue sarcoma (STS) database of 8240 patients, they identified 112 patients with STS and lymphoma treated from...
BACKGROUND:Based on results of a prospective randomized trial, brachytherapy (BRT) had been the preferred form of adjuvant radiotherapy for patients with high‐grade extremity soft tissue sarcoma (STS) at our institution. In recent years, intensity‐modulated radiotherapy IMRT had been increasingly used. This study compared local control by IMRT versus by BRT in primary‐extremity STS.
METHODS:Between...
BACKGROUND:In the current study, the authors examined the outcomes of patients with desmoid tumors who received systemic therapy at a single institution to provide a basis for the examination of newer agents.
METHODS:Records of patients with desmoid tumors who were treated with chemotherapy at the study institution were reviewed. The activity of nonsteroidal anti–inflammatory drugs was not addressed...
