Impact of Consolidative Radiation on Overall and Progression Free Survival in Pediatric, Adolescent and Young Adult Metastatic Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcoma

CONCLUSION: Consolidative RT was independently associated with improved OS and PFS and decreased risk of distant failure in children and AYA patients with metastatic sarcoma. Future work should evaluate biomarkers to optimize patient selection, timing and dose for consolidative RT.PMID:37797747 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijrobp.2023.09.007
