High-dose ifosfamide with hematopoietic growth factor support in advanced bone and soft tissue sarcomas.

Aim: Ifosfamide and doxorubicin are the most effective agents in the treatment of sarcomas, although their contributions to survival are usually limited. High-dose ifosfamide can be used as a salvage treatment in patients with recurrent or advanced sarcoma. We evaluated efficacy and toxicity of high-dose ifosfamide in the patients with recurrent or advanced sarcoma in this study.
