title: Combined therapy in the treatment of gastric epithelioid leiomyosarcoma.
abstract: 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.
