Successful Chemotherapeutic Modality of Doxorubicin Plus Dacarbazine for the Treatment of Desmoid Tumors in Association With Familial Adenomatous Polyposis

Abstract

A chemotherapeutic regimen of DOX plus DTIC followed by meloxicam is an effective and safe treatment for FAP-associated desmoid tumors. This modality should be considered for use as first-line chemotherapy in symptomatic desmoid tumors that are unresponsive to conventional medical therapy, due to the absence of useful presymptomatic markers.
