Background: The prognosis of patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) remains dismal. Trofosfamide (TRO) has been proposed as a well-tolerated oral maintenance therapy. This retrospective analysis aims to determine the value this Methods: Fifty-nine STS who received TRO therapy between 2016 and 2022 were reviewed analysed regarding clinical parameters outcomes. Results: median age was 48 years; most common histological subtype synovial (n = 22, 37%), 71% 42) presented metastatic...

Abstract Lymph node metastasis (LNM) occurs in less than 5% of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients and indicates an aggressive course disease. Suspicious lymph nodes (LN) staging imaging are a frequent topic discussion multidisciplinary tumor boards. Predictive markers needed to facilitate stratification improve treatment STS patients. In this study, 56 with radiologically suspicious subsequently histologically examined LN were reviewed. Patients benign (n = 26) metastatic 30) analyzed regard...

ABSTRACT Background Dacarbazine is currently considered the better combination partner for doxorubicin compared to ifosfamide treatment of leiomyosarcoma (LMS). Regional hyperthermia (RHT) combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been shown improve survival in patients locally advanced high‐risk STS. We sought evaluate role and dacarbazine (AD) versus (AI) RHT LMS. Methods Patients high‐grade LMS, including limited metastases, eligible first‐line either AI + or AD between 2014 2022 were...

Abstract Background The current understanding of the prognostic value routine pre-treatment laboratory parameters in patients with high-risk soft tissue sarcoma (HR-STS) is limited. We sought to analyze several inflammatory biomarkers a large cohort HR-STS undergoing neoadjuvant therapy followed by curative surgical resection. Methods 123 locally advanced undifferentiated pleomorphic (UPS), liposarcoma (LPS), leiomyosarcoma (LMS), and synovial (SS) who underwent preoperative chemotherapy...

Abstract We report a long-lasting response to the immune checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab in combination with regional hyperthermia (RHT) patient recurrent metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) negative programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. Treatment was well tolerated no local side effects. Tumor-related symptoms orbital masticator area gradually decreased under treatment RHT. Over course of treatment, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed tumor control heated...

Abstract Purpose Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) represents an ultra-rare, translocated vascular sarcoma with a heterogeneous course of disease. The optimal systemic treatment for patients advanced EHE remains unclear. We sought to evaluate the value pazopanib (PAZ) as first-line in metastatic EHE. Methods Thirteen and PAZ at our institution between 2012 und 2023 were reviewed analyzed regard clinical outcomes. Results At median follow-up 51.4 months, progression-free survival (PFS)...

The unfailing detection of micrometastases during surgery patients suffering from ovarian cancer is mandatory for the optimal management this disease. Thus, present study aimed at determining feasibility detecting in an model using intraperitoneal administration photosensitiser precursor hexaminolaevulinate (HAL). For purpose, HAL was applied intraperitoneally different concentrations (4–12 mM) to immunocompetent Fischer 344 rats bearing a syngeneic epithelial carcinoma. tumours were...

(1) Background: Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms (UIAs) are common blood vessel malformations, occurring in up to 3 % of healthy adults. Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) is frequently used for the screening UIAs due its high resolution vascular anatomy. However, T2-Weighted Imaging (T2WI) a standard sequence utilized majority outpatient head scans. By employing such as T2WI, there possible shift towards early detection through opportunistic screening. Here, we assess Deep Learning...

Molecular predictors of response to chemotherapy and survival have not been put into clinical practice in high-risk soft tissue sarcomas (HR-STS) by now. The expression TOP2A SIRT1 has implications for the mechanism action doxorubicin, which is backbone HR-STS. Pre-treatment samples 167 patients with HR-STS were collected. Protein levels evaluated microarrays immunohistochemistry correlated clinicopathological parameters, including overall (OS). was seen 47% 60% HR-STS, respectively....

Surgical site infections (SSI) are one of the most common complications after extensive sarcoma resections and represent a daily challenge. SSI occur in up to 50% cases particularly peripelvic area. One possible approach reduce infection rate is perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis. The aim this study therefore was investigate influence prophylaxis on location-specific with ampicillin/sulbactam.

Bei hohem Rezidivrisiko eine neoadjuvante anthrazyklinbasierte Kombinationstherapie, ggf. in Kombination mit regionaler Hyperthermie, zu erwägen. Metastasiertes Stadium Anthrazykline gelten auch metastasierten weiterhin als Standard für Erstlinientherapie. Anthrazyklinbasierte Kombinationen können je nach Subtyp und Remissionsdruck Betracht gezogen...
