  • Title: Survival for 5 years after repeat liver resections and multimodality treatment for metastatic intestinal leiomyosarcoma: report of a case.
    Author: Tepetes K, Tsamandas AC, Ravazoula P, Petsas T, Bonikos DS, Karavias DD.
    Journal: Surg Today; 2002; 32(10):925-8. PubMed ID: 12376797.
    Abstract:
    The liver is a common site of metastases from gastrointestinal or retroperitoneal leiomyosarcomas. Although repeat liver resections can prolong survival, to our knowledge, 5-year survival has never been achieved. We report the case of a woman who has survived for 5 years since her first liver resection, during which time five more resections have been performed, in combination with systemic chemotherapy and radiofrequency ablation.
