简要总结
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Infusing melphalan directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to healthy tissues. It is not yet known whether melphalan plus tumor necrosis factor is more effective than melphalan alone for soft tissue sarcoma.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of isolated limb perfusion of melphalan with or without tumor necrosis factor in treating patients who have soft tissue sarcoma of the arm or leg.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response rates, duration of response, patterns of recurrence and overall survival in patients with unresectable high grade soft tissue sarcomas of the extremity following isolated limb perfusion (ILP) using melphalan with or without tumor necrosis factor (TNF).
II. Determine the application of these regimens as neoadjuvant therapy to render an unresectable sarcoma resectable.
III. Determine whether either regimen results in durable disease control and limb salvage for patients with multifocal unresectable high grade soft tissue sarcoma of the extremity or patients with stage IV soft tissue sarcoma with symptomatic primary extremity tumor.
PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized study.
Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms:
