Does irradiation improve local control in pediatric patients with synovial sarcoma?
Irradiation provides durable local control for synovial sarcoma lesions with incomplete resection or partial response to chemotherapy, but has questionable benefit for completely resected low-grade lesions.
Fontanesi et al. (1996) conducted a cohort in Synovial sarcoma (n=37). Irradiation was evaluated on Local control. Irradiation provided durable local control for pediatric synovial sarcoma patients with incomplete resection, with 10 of 14 patients receiving curative intent irradiation remaining alive.
