[Loco-regional therapy for desmoid tumeurs. Current status and perspectives] [Article in French]

Summary

Locoregional therapy for advanced or recurrent desmoid tumor is part of our therapeutic armamentarium. Radiation therapy at a dose of 56Gy is feasible and has led to favorable results despite limited prospective data available. Cryoablation is a novel, very promising technique that may be applied in the same clinical picture of advanced, progressing or recurrent disease, in the hands of trained teams. All these options have to be discussed in sarcoma tumor boards due to the rarity of the disease and the expertise needed.
