First-line treatment options for advanced leiomyosarcoma evaluated by propensity‑score matching
The study evaluated doxorubicin plus dacarbazine, doxorubicin plus ifosfamide, and doxorubicin alone as first‑line therapies for advanced leiomyosarcoma, reporting progression‑free survival, overall survival, and overall response rate outcomes.
Understanding which chemotherapy backbone confers superior disease control informs clinical decisions for patients with advanced leiomyosarcoma, a sarcoma subtype with limited prospective data.
