Purpose: Optimal treatment of retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) remains undefined. Here, we report the feasibility of using high-dose boost radiation (3-4 Gy) to the central part of the tumor in patients with unresectable RPS.
Methods And Materials: Five patients with unresectable RPS were treated with radiation therapy using a central boost technique with intensity modulated radiation therapy.
CIC-rearranged sarcomas comprise a group of exceptionally aggressive round-cell sarcomas. These tumors most commonly demonstrate CIC::DUX4 fusion and show similar histopathology to Ewing sarcomas, though lesions mimicking vascular neoplasms have recently been described. Here, we describe a case of a patient with CIC::DUX4 fusion sarcoma identified using RNA-based molecular testing who was initially diagnosed with an endothelial neoplasm.

Methods: Thirty-eight institutions participated in the Global nLPHL One Working Group retrospective study of NLPHL cases from 1992 to 2021. We measured progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), transformation rate, and lymphoma-specific death rate.
