Positron emission tomography (PET) is now primarily used in oncological indication owing
to the successful application of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in an increasing …

Objective The objective of the study was to achieve limb salvage in patients with locally
advanced soft tissue sarcomas that can only be treated by amputation or functionally …

PURPOSE To determine the efficacy of isolated limb perfusion (ILP) with tumor necrosis
factor-alpha (TNF) in combination with interferon-gamma (IFN) and melphalan as induction …

Positron emission tomography (PET) can be used to measure tumor metabolism in
sarcomas by measuring the standard uptake value (SUV) of (F-18) fluorodeoxyglucose …

Bone and soft tissue sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of relatively rare tumors. 1, 2 The
incidence of bone and soft tissue tumors has increased during the last 35 years. In the …

Positron emission tomography (PET) using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is considered to
be a very useful adjunct to anatomic imaging techniques and is now primarily used for …

In advanced melanoma of the limbs with in‐transit metastasis, melphalan with isolated limb
perfusion (M‐ILP) produces around 50% complete remissions (CR). The combination of …

Background The clinical assessment of the response of sarcomas to preoperative treatment
is usually defined using size-based evaluation standards. For nonresectable sarcomas …

Hematopoietic growth factors (HGF) such as G-CSF and GM-CSF stimulate cell growth of the
bone marrow and thereby mitigate the myelotoxic effect of chemotherapy. Using 18F-fluoro …
