Effectiveness of Regional Hyperthermia With Chemotherapy for High-Risk Retroperitoneal and Abdominal Soft-Tissue Sarcoma After Complete Surgical Resection

Abstract

In patients with macroscopically complete tumor resection, RHT in addition to chemotherapy resulted in significantly improved local tumor control and DFS without increasing surgical complications. Within a multimodal therapeutic concept for abdominal and retroperitoneal high-risk sarcomas, RHT is a treatment option beside radical surgery and should be further evaluated in future trials.
