Surgical treatment of giant soft tissue sarcomas
Abstract
Giant tumors (diameter more than 20 cm) make 10% of all sarcoma cases. One of possible ways of increasing ablastics and decreasing intraoperation blood loss can be tumor cryosurgery and endovascular embolization of tumor blood supply vessels. We have had 16 patients with giant soft tissue sarcomas under the supervision. The basic group was made of 8 patients, who have undergone cryosurgery and endovascular embolization before and during surgical intervention. At the operative intervention we have noticed significant decrease in blood loss from the disintegrating tumor tissue. The period of supervision for the basic group of patients has made from 3 months up to 1,5 years. There were no signs of tumor relapse. Thus, cryosurgery and endovascular embolization of giant tumor blood supply vessels result in appreciable increase in efficiency of surgical treatment with prospects of good late results
