Although the usefulness of radiation in treatment of many embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas is recognized, the pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcomas are frequently felt to be radioresistant and thus a potentially useful mode of therapy is overlooked. There is increasing evidence in the literature to document successful local management of pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcomas with radiation. The literature is reviewed briefly and a case of rhabdomyosarcoma of the heart is reported in which radiation in doses well tolerated by normal tissues successfully controlled several local lesions at various sites until the patient's demise from widespread disease 2 years after the initial treatment.
尽管放射治疗在许多胚胎性横纹肌肉瘤的治疗中所具有的效用已得到认可，但多形性横纹肌肉瘤常被认为具有放射抗性，因此一种潜在的有效治疗方式被忽视了。文献中有越来越多的证据证明用放射治疗成功地进行了多形性横纹肌肉瘤的局部治疗。本文简要回顾了相关文献，并报告了一例心脏横纹肌肉瘤病例，在该病例中，正常组织能够良好耐受的剂量的放射治疗成功地控制了多个不同部位的局部病灶，直到患者在初始治疗两年后因疾病广泛扩散而死亡。
