Abstract

Methods: The treatment of a patient with soft-tissue sarcoma was evaluated with FDG-PET. A limb-saving complete remission of a locally advanced liposarcoma of the left thigh was achieved with isolated regional perfusion of the limb with tumor necrosis factor alpha, interferon gamma and melphalan. Results: PET with F-18-FDG before perfusion showed high glucose consumption in the tumor. After perfusion, glucose metabolism in the tumor was absent. Subsequent excision confirmed complete necrosis of the tumor. Conclusion: FDG-PET may be useful in evaluating the results of isolateral regional limb perfusion for soft-tissue sarcomas.
