Early Outcomes for Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor Treated With Chemotherapy

Abstract

For all patients, when combined with surgery and radiation, chemotherapy using doxorubicin and ifosfamide yielded 57% DFS and 80% OS at 2 years. NF1 patients appeared to have worse outcomes, with a statistically significantly lower DFS than non-NF1 patients. Limitations of this study include a small sample size, retrospective design, and use of different chemotherapy regimens.
