EDU 27 - New Tools for Formidable Foes: Strategies for Management of Unresected Soft Tissue Sarcomas
MODERATOR(S)
Daniel Indelicato, MD, FASTRO - University of Florida Department of Radiation Oncology
session DESCRIPTION
Some patients with soft tissue sarcomas may be inoperable due to medical comorbidity or might decline radical or amputative surgeries due to undesirable functional outcomes. However, the relative lower radiosensivity of sarcomas pose significant challenge for control and symptomatic relief of unresected, often bulky, soft tissue sarcomas. To achieve greater local control and symptom palliation than conventional radiotherapy, efforts over the recent decade have explored options including particle therapy, SBRT, lattice/GRID therapy, and combined modality treatment. This panel will provide overview of published clinical results of these novel strategies for unresected sarcomas and developments on the horizon.
learning objectives
- Discuss the radiobiological challenges in radiating unresected sarcomas of different histologies and anatomic.
- Explain potential options for improving outcomes for radiating unresected sarcomas.
- Discuss the pros and cons of various strategies for radiating unresected sarcomas.
