Summary:

      Desmoids tumors are benign soft tissues tumors characterized by aggressiveness and potential
      local recurrence. There is a female predominance with a sex ratio of 2/1 and median age at
      diagnosis is about 30 years.

      Only a complete surgical excision is recommended in desmoids tumors. Some forms of desmoid
      tumors are recurrent and/or symptomatic and are not accessible to a conservative surgical
      treatment. In these clinical situations, only a medical treatment may achieve tumor control
      and quality of life maintenance. Place of systemic treatments in the management of desmoids
      tumors is poorly evaluated. Regarding chemotherapy, methotrexate and vinblastine protocol is
      actually the best evaluated combination, which allowed observing objective response rate
      between 40 and 75%. Toxicity was mainly marked by the risk of haematological toxicity.

      Pazopanib is an inhibitor of multi-target tyrosine kinase, in oral form, with selective type
      receptors -1, -2 and -3 of VEGF receptors on the PDGFA and B, and c-Kit. It is currently
      under clinical development in humans in the treatment of several tumor types.
