Key result
Aggressive multidisciplinary treatment achieves 7.5-year survival in a rare primary abdominal aortic leiomyosarcoma case.
Why the study?
Primary leiomyosarcoma originating from the abdominal aorta is an extremely rare disease with very poor prognosis and limited long-term survival data.

Aggressive multidisciplinary treatment including surgery, chemotherapy, and particle beam therapy can achieve long-term survival in patients with primary abdominal aortic leiomyosarcoma.
May support aggressive multimodal therapy in select primary aortic leiomyosarcoma cases; leaves open optimal regimens and generalizability.

Nakashima et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Leiomyosarcoma originating from the abdominal aorta (n=1). Surgical treatment, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy was evaluated on Survival. Aggressive management including surgical treatment, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy enabled a 57-year-old man with a rare primary leiomyosarcoma of the abdominal aorta to survive for 7.5 years.
