Does aggressive surgical resection with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy improve survival in a patient with pulmonary artery sarcoma?
Aggressive surgical resection with reconstruction and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy can provide long-term recurrence-free survival in patients with pulmonary artery sarcoma.
Nakahira et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Pulmonary artery sarcoma (n=1). Aggressive surgical resection and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy was evaluated on Survival without recurrence. Aggressive surgical resection with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy resulted in survival without evidence of recurrence at 56 months in a patient with pulmonary artery sarcoma.
