Surgical treatment of recurrent uterine sarcomas
Abstract
Uterine sarcomas (US) are rare mesodermal tumors comprising 2-7% of all malignant uterine neoplasms. They are the most malignant tumors and differ from a uterine cancer on features of metastasis and tactics of treatment. More than half of patients with uterine sarcoma in different terms have local recurrence and distant metastasis after primary treatment. Treatment algorithms of recurrent uterine sarcomas differ enough. Still there’s no uniform approach to this question. However the surgical method remains the basic method of treatment. Surgeons face great difficulties because relapse of uterine sarcomas quite often extends on other pelvic organs. Despite it, surgery gives chance to achieve long remission.
