Comparison of radiotherapy with and without razoxane (ICRF 159) in the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas. 1978

K Hellmann, and R D Ryall, and E Macdonald, and K A Newton, and S E James, and S Jones

Comparison of the recurrence rates of soft tissue sarcomas treated by radiotherapy (14 patients) or radiotherapy and synchronous administration of razoxane (19 patients) has shown a statistically significant benefit for those patients treated by the combination. No increase in tissue reactions or adverse side-effects (apart from a readily reversible leukopenia) was observed. The implication is that razoxane acts as a well tolerated adjuvant for radiotherapy.
