High doses of methotrexate (MTX) have been incorporated in the treatment of osteogenic sarcoma since the 1970s. Unfortunately, high-dose MTX (HD-MTX) can cause untoward side effects that may complicate the proper management of these patients. Two cases of MTX-induced acral erythema are described and
OBJECTIVE
Kaposi's sarcoma, the most common malignancy in AIDS patients, often presents with painful cutaneous lesions that are difficult to treat effectively despite a wide variety of therapeutic approaches. We used photodynamic therapy in an attempt to provide effective palliative treatment for
A 34-year-old white man with the human immunodeficiency virus infection had a large Kaposi sarcoma lesion of his foot. This was treated with local radiation therapy consisting of 2700 rads administered in 15 fractions during a period of 28 days. Ten months later, the patient had painful disseminated
OBJECTIVE
This study is presented to help define the role of radiotherapy in the management of epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma.
METHODS
Between June 1986 and June 1993, we treated 453 patients who had acquired immunodeficiency syndrome related Kaposi's sarcoma. Two hundred fifty-two patients (55.6%) had
We describe a case of Ewing sarcoma in the metacarpal of a 5-month-old male. After pain, erythema, and swelling of the hand failed to resolve with antibiotics, radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging raised suspicion for a neoplastic condition. Open biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma
Thalidomide, administered as a sedative and antiemetic decades ago, was considered responsible for numerous devastating cases of birth defects and consequently was banned from markets worldwide. However, the drug remarkably has resurfaced with promise of immunomodulatory benefit in a wide array of
A 71-year-old male patient presented with decreased visual acuity, redness, and discharge in his right eye for 5 days. He had undergone evisceration of his left eye several years earlier. Before presentation, he had received chemotherapeutic agents for Kaposi’s sarcoma of the scalp. Slit-lamp
The value of hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion (HILP) with cisplatin in the management of locally advanced soft tissue sarcomas or metastatic bone sarcoma was studied. Four patients were treated with HILP under mild hyperthermia (39-40 degrees C) with 20-30 mg cisplatin/l perfused limb volume.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the ability of a novel imaging system designed for intraoperative detection of residual cancer in tumor beds to distinguish neoplastic from normal tissue in dogs undergoing resection of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) and mast cell tumor (MCT).
METHODS
Non-randomized prospective
Gynecologic sarcomas are rare diseases with still undefined optimal treatment. Platinum and anthracyclines were reported as active agents in gynecologic sarcoma and carcinosarcoma. So far, data regarding the combination of carboplatin and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin for this patient population
BACKGROUND
Classic Kaposi sarcoma is a rare angioproliferative neoplasm with varying biological behaviour. Depending on the clinical stage, local or systemic therapy can be used. Vincristine has proven to be effective as systemic chemotherapy and in very few reports as intralesional
BACKGROUND
Current regimens for treatment of distant metastases of soft tissues sarcomas result in response rates of about 25%. Therefore the search for active drugs remains a task for investigational groups. Taxoids offer a new class of cytostatic drugs. Docetaxel has been studied as a second line
Between June 1986 and December 1988, we treated 149 patients who had AIDS-related epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma with cutaneous irradiation. According to Mitsayasu's staging, 34 patients (23%) had Stage I disease, 82 (55%) Stage II, 0 Stage III, and 33 (22%) Stage IV. Fifty-eight patients (39%) had
BACKGROUND
Radiation recall is a recurrence of acute toxicity within a previously quiescent radiation field that occurs with subsequent administration of chemotherapy.
METHODS
A patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related Kaposi sarcoma (KS) who had radiation recall is reported.
Acroangiodermatitis or Pseudo-Kaposi sarcoma is a rare angioproliferative entity, related to chronic venous insufficiency or certain other vascular anomalies. It is often associated with chronic venous insufficiency, arteriovenous malformation of the legs, chronic renal failure treated with
