Аннотация

BACKGROUND: Isolated limb perfusion (ILP) is an established and effective treatment for advanced melanoma and soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities with a high overall response rate. The aim of this study was to describe our experience of ILP for more rare types of tumours.

METHODS: Patients with Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) (n = 4), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (n = 2), B-cell lymphoma (n = 1), desmoid tumours (n = 3), pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) (n = 1) and giant cell tumour (n = 1) were treated with ILP and analysed retrospectively.

RESULTS: The four patients with in-transit MCC had three complete responses (CR) and one partial response (PR); the two patients with SCC had one CR and one stable disease (SD); the patients with desmoid tumours had two PR and one SD. A CR was also observed for the patient with a giant cell tumour, but the patient with PVNS had a SD. The patient with cutaneous metastases of B-cell lymphoma showed a CR, however with rapid systemic progression. Local toxicity according to Wieberdink was grade II in 10 patients (83%) and grade III in two patients (17%).

CONCLUSIONS: These results show that ILP can be used as a treatment option also for more rare disease entities when other treatments have failed.
