Javier Martin Broto, MD, PhD, Hospital Universitario Fundación Jiménez Díaz, Madrid, Spain, discusses treatment options for leiomyosarcoma. These include resection or fast relief via a combination of doxorubicin and dacarbazine. In asymptomatic patients with metastatic disease, but no prospective surgical rescue, first-line doxorubicin monotherapy could be adequate. Second-line treatment presents more possibilities, such as trabectedin or gemcitabine combinations. Research aims to improve long term survival and a higher proportion of surgical rescue, even in metastatic locally advanced cases. This interview took place at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2023 Annual Congress in Chicago, IL.
