BACKGROUND: We have investigated the efficacy of preoperative @entity221 combined with radiation therapy (HIRP) in cases of soft tissue @entity242 (STS) that could be consequently treated with limb salvage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirteen @entity1 with STS in an extremity received HIRP at our institution. Local @entity221 for 1 hour was administered eight to ten times. Radiation therapy (40-60 Gy) was administered at 2 Gy per session. The operation was performed at 2 or 3 weeks after HIRP. RESULTS: Limb salvage surgery was achieved in 12 @entity1 . No local recurrence was observed during a mean follow-up of 27 months. 7 @entity1 had shown only a partial response to the HIRP. There was no correlation between the histological response and the observed reduction in @entity5 volume. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggested that HIRP was an effective local treatment for limb salvage in limb-threatening STS.
