Background: Laryngeal sarcoma is rare. We performed a systematic review and individual patient analysis to evaluate the patterns of care, prognostic factors, and role of radiotherapy in laryngeal soft tissue sarcoma.
Methods: A systematic search on PubMed and Google scholar was done.
Article Synopsis
- Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a common brain tumor, and this study investigates whether a quicker radiation treatment combined with temozolomide improves survival rates compared to standard treatment.
- Conducted as a phase II trial, the study involved 35 patients split into two groups: one receiving conventional radiation over six weeks and the other receiving accelerated radiation over about two and a half weeks with concurrent temozolomide.
- The results showed no significant difference in overall survival between the two groups, with the experimental group experiencing higher rates of severe side effects, leading researchers to conclude that standard radiation treatment should remain the primary approach.
