Comparison of radiotherapy with and without razoxane (icrf 159) in the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas

Abstract

Comparison of the recurrence rates of soft tissue sarcomas treated by radiotherapy (14 patients) or radiotherapy and synchronous administration of razoxane (19 patients) has shown a statistically significant benefit for those patients treated by the combination. No increase in tissue reactions or adverse side-effects (apart from a readily reversible leukopenia) was observed. The implication is that razoxane acts as a well tolerated adjuvant for radiotherapy.
