Neoadjuvant Trabectedin plus Radiotherapy in High-Grade Sarcoma of the Leg: A Case Report.

Here, we present the case of a 78-year-old male patient with undifferentiated spindle cell sarcoma on the posteromedial surface of the right leg who experienced a long-lasting progression-free survival. Due to an underlying cardiac disease, the patient was not suitable for anthracyclines. In September 2015, he received first-line chemotherapy with trabectedin (Yondelis®) at the approved dosage and regimen - concomitant with external radiotherapy (RT).

The importance of radiotherapy on diffuse large B cell lymphoma treatment: a current review.

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma is recognized as a heterogeneous group of hematological malignancies; two main subtypes germinal center B and activated B cells are well defined although 15% of patients remain with unclassifiable disease. R-CHOP treatment has proven to provide very effective results in limited or advanced stage of the disease. However, treatment solely involving R-CHOP submits the patient to possible chemotherapy-induced toxicities, which may be avoided with the use of radiotherapy.
