Magnetic Resonance Imaging-guided Brachytherapy Re-irradiation for Isolated Local Recurrence of Soft Tissue Sarcoma.
Curēus 2018 April 11
Management options for locally recurrent sarcoma of the pelvis in patients previously treated with external beam radiation and surgery are limited. Pelvic exenteration is often the only viable but unattractive option. We present a patient with recurrent myxoid round cell liposarcoma of the ischiorectal fossa treated in 2013 with preoperative radiation (50 Gy in 25 fractions) and subsequent wide local resection. Four years later, a follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan demonstrated a 1 x 1 cm T2 hypointense soft tissue pre-sacral nodule consistent with local recurrence (LR). The patient declined posterior pelvic exenteration and was treated with 12 Gy using high dose rate brachytherapy (BT) under MRI-guidance followed by a further external beam radiation to a dose of 30 Gy in 15 fractions.
