Remote Radiotherapy in the Treatment of Patients with Perivascular Epithelial Cell Tumors

Abstract

The main method of treating rare mesenchymal tumors PEComas is surgical removal of the tumor and external-beam radiation therapy has historically been considered ineffective. However, the individual cases in the foreign literature as well as this article authors’ experience in the form of the clinical case provided in it shows the possibility of achieving some anti-tumor effect due to the use of aggressive variants of radiation therapy. The use of variations of stereotactic radiotherapy with high dose per fraction and sum dose as an neoadjuvant and definitive treatment looks promising.
