  5. CTOS 2005 - CPG • CPG 11-1 (Original: Nov. 1999, Update: July 2004) • This recommendation applies to adult patients with symptomatic unresectable locally advanced or metastatic STS who are candidates for palliative chemotherapy: • Recommendation • single agent doxorubicin is an appropriate first-line chemotherapy option for advanced or metastatic • soft tissue sarcoma. Some doxorubicin-based • combination chemotherapy regimens, given in • conventional doses, produce only marginal increases • in response rates at the expense of increased toxic • effects, and no improvements in overall survival

  6. CTOS 2005 - CPG • CPG 11-2 (Original: Nov. 2000, Update: Feb. 2005) • These recommendations apply to adult patients with • resected soft tissue sarcoma • Recommendations • it is reasonable to consider anthracycline-based adjuvant chemotherapy in patients who have had removal of a sarcoma with features predicting a high likelihood of relapse (deep location, size > 5 cm, high histological grade). These features correspond to UICC Stage III • although the benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy are most apparent in patients with extremity sarcomas (7% risk difference [RD] for overall survival at 10 years), patients with high-risk tumors at other sites should also be considered for such therapy NB: Several qualifying statements
