Summary

We retrospectively reviewed data from all adult patients with sporadicÂ desmoid-typeÂ fibromatosisÂ treated with MTX and vinca alkaloids at our institution between 1989 and 2014. In this series, chemotherapy with MTX and vinca alkaloids is confirmed to be active and effective, with a remarkable PFS, higher in responding patients, and limited toxicity. Even progression can be successfully rechallenged.
