Michael J. Hall, MD, Fox Chase Cancer Center, discusses the emergence of PARP inhibition in the armamentarium for patients with pancreatic cancer.
Each year, 10% to 15% of patients with soft-tissue carcinomas receive a diagnosis of rare retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS), an aggressive disease that typically recurs in 26% of cases and has a 47% to 67% five-year overall survival rate. New radiation therapies hold potential to decrease treatment time and provide local control of RPS.
