Fibrosarcoma - Treatment

Specific treatment for fibrosarcoma is determined by factorsurmatoarii:
patient-age, health status and medical history
-spread of the disease, tolerance to specific medications,procedures or therapies.

Surgical therapy:
Surgery for fibrosarcoma involves performing biopsies, surgicalexcision of tumor, bone and skin grafts, limb salvage, amputationand reconstruction. The type of procedure used depends on the location and size of the tumor.
Membului saving surgery:
Surgery to remove tumor and part of the bone that has developed.The bone will be replaced with a metal prosthesis or bone graft.Bone graft may be autologous, heterologous or increased in the laboratory.
Amputation:
It may be necessary if the tumor is very extensive.

Radiation and chemotherapy:
Radiation and chemotherapy can improve the appearance andlocal control of tumor extension. Chemotherapy is used in bonelesions. Radiotherapy is used in correlation with fibrosarcoamelesurgery for soft tissue, with or without chemotherapy.Fibrosarcoma Treatment involves a combination of local control oftumor extension and metastatic disease by avoiding surgicaltechniques can preserve bone and totally or partially affected limbor amputate.

Prognosis:
Local Recurrence of the tumor occurs in 60% of cases and pre-orpostoperative radiotherapy is recommended. Local Recurrence isreduced to 25% when postoperative irradiation is used.
Long-term prognosis and evolution of cancer depends on manyinterrelated factors. These include tumor size and location, orhistological grade and the presence of metastatic lung disease.These factors are important in assessing tumor-staging anddetermining the success of treatment, secondary prevention ofdisease extension.
