Metastatic leiomyosarcoma has a dismal prognosis, and therapy mainly consists of palliative systemic chemotherapy. A selected subgroup of patients with limited metastatic disease may eventually derive benefit from more aggressive strategies, including resection of isolated metastasis. We report here the successful use of hepatic transarterial chemoembolization and retroperitoneal lymph node radiofrequency ablation in a patient with advanced leiomyosarcoma metastatic to the liver and retroperitoneum.
转移性平滑肌肉瘤预后较差,治疗主要为姑息性全身化疗。少数局限性转移的患者可能最终从更积极的策略中获益,包括孤立转移灶切除。我们在此报告一例晚期平滑肌肉瘤肝及腹膜后转移患者,采用肝动脉化疗栓塞和腹膜后淋巴结射频消融治疗获得成功。
