Benefit of the surgical resection of the ASPS brain mets

Post by Olga »

Surgical management of metastatic sarcoma to the brain.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18834268

The authors' results suggest that in selected patients, resection of metastatic sarcoma to the brain is associated with a relatively low risk of operative death and results in improvement in neurological function. Patients with systemic control of their primary disease and certain histological subtypes (specifically alveolar soft-part sarcoma) have improved overall and progression-free survival.
