Combined therapy in the treatment of gastric epithelioid leiomyosarcoma.
In recent years it has been reported that the chemotherapeutic CYVADIC regime has contributed well to the treatment of advanced soft tissue sarcomas. We treated a patient with a large gastric epithelioid leiomyosarcoma with a combination of surgery and the CYVADIC regime. We believe that our result warrants further investigation in this field.
