An abstract of the new interesting article from Germany is published on the PubMed - they report a case from their clinic, in which a complete response with oral trofosfamide was achieved in a patient suffering from relapsed high-grade angiosarcoma metastasizing to the liver and lung.

Complete remission of relapsing high-grade angiosarcoma with single-agent metronomic trofosfamide

They also say:
Trofosfamide is an oral drug from the same group as well known in US Ifosfamide is, but it is used in a metronomic schedule - frequently administrated at the low-dose, opposite to the Ifosfamide administrated at the MTD (maximum tolerated dose).
The patient experienced minimal side-effects from her trofosfamide treatment. Responses like this are encouraging and should make us rethink treatment approaches for metastasizing soft-tissue sarcoma
