Resectable Pediatric Nonrhabdomyosarcoma Soft Tissue Sarcoma: Which Patients Benefit from Adjuvant Radiation Therapy and How Much?
It remains unclear which children and adolescents with resected nonrhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma (NRSTS) benefit from radiation therapy, as well as the optimal dose, volume, and timing of radiotherapy when used with primary surgical resection. This paper reviews the sparse literature from clinical trials and retrospective studies of resected pediatric NRSTS to discern local recurrence ra...
متن کاملRisk-stratified patients with resectable soft tissue sarcoma benefit from epirubicin-based adjuvant chemotherapy
As adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) for soft tissue sarcomas is controversial, we performed a retrospective analysis of patients seen at Washington University in St. Louis to evaluate whether it benefited our patient population. Patients were risk-assessed using the Memorial Sloan Kettering Predictive Nomogram (MSKPN). We defined high-risk patients by a MSKPN 4-year postoperative probability of sarco...
متن کاملPediatric nonrhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcomas.
The nonrhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcomas (NRSTSs) are a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal cell neoplasms that account for about 4% of childhood cancers. Because each histologic subtype of NRSTS is rare, they have been poorly studied and little is known about their biology, natural history, or optimal treatment. Data from adults with soft tissue sarcomas provide some helpful insight, but ad...
متن کاملIntraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) in soft-tissue sarcoma
Soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) represent a rare tumor entity, accounting for less than 1% of adult malignancies. The cornerstone of curative intent treatment is surgery with free margins, although the extent of the surgical approach has been subject to change in the last decades. Multimodal approaches usually including radiation therapy have replaced extensive surgical procedures in order to preserv...
متن کاملMultidisciplinary management of pediatric soft-tissue sarcoma.
The management of pediatric soft-tissue sarcomas has improved drastically through the use of multimodal therapy. These tumors include rhabdomyosarcomas and nonrhabdomyosarcomas. Both are staged using physical, radiographic, and histologic evaluation, and both have intricate staging and grouping systems that correlate closely with prognosis. However, approaches to therapy for the two tumor types...
