Sixteen patients with inoperable soft tissue sarcomas were treated definitively with fast neutrons at the University of Washington between August, 1970 and May, 1982. Eleven of these 16 patients were treated with curative intent and form the basis of this report. Actuarial plots are shown for local tumor control and survival. This work is placed in the context of worldwide experience in using fast neutrons to treat unresectable soft tissue sarcomas.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008080 Liposarcoma A malignant tumor derived from primitive or embryonal lipoblastic cells. It may be composed of well-differentiated fat cells or may be dedifferentiated: myxoid (LIPOSARCOMA, MYXOID), round-celled, or pleomorphic, usually in association with a rich network of capillaries. Recurrences are common and dedifferentiated liposarcomas metastasize to the lungs or serosal surfaces.

D018219 Histiocytoma, Benign Fibrous A benign tumor composed, wholly or in part, of cells with the morphologic characteristics of HISTIOCYTES and with various fibroblastic components. Fibrous histiocytomas can occur anywhere in the body. When they occur in the skin, they are called dermatofibromas or sclerosing hemangiomas.
