Evaluation of Target Definition for Management of Myxoid Liposarcoma (MLS) with Neoadjuvant Radiation Therapy (RT)
Ferrat Dinçoğlan
Abstract
Objective: Radiation therapy (RT) typically plays a major role in the management of soft tissue sarcomas. In the context of myxoid liposarcoma (MLS) management, several studies have addressed the utility of neoadjuvant RT. Longer life expectancy of patients with MLS with more efficacious treatments rendered quality of life a critical aspect of management. From this standpoint, improving the toxicity profile of radiation delivery has gained utmost priority in the millennium era. Accurate RT target definition comprises an indispensable and critical component of successful MLS management. Within this context, we assessed target definition for neoadjuvant RT of MLS in this original article.
