Key result
Radical resection of inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma yields median overall survival of ~53 months.
Why the study?
Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava has a poor prognosis and requires challenging surgery with curative intent, but few retrospective series exist.
Population
7 patients with inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma
Design
Retrospective review

May support radical resection with reconstruction in operable IVC LMS; leaves open optimal multimodality strategies for this rare disease.
Observational (n=7)
Yes
Radical resection of inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma is feasible but associated with poor long-term survival, with a 5-year overall survival of 25%.
Teixeira et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (n=7). Radical surgical resection was evaluated on Overall survival rate at 5 years. Radical resection of inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma resulted in overall survival rates of 100% at 3 years and 25% at 5 years, with a median overall survival of 53 months.
