Overview
Patients with leiomyosarcoma have many treatment options. The selection depends on the stage of the tumor. The options are surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these methods. Before treatment starts, ask your health care team about possible side effects and how treatment may change your normal activities. Because cancer treatments often damage healthy cells and tissues, side effects are common. Side effects may not be the same for each person, and they may change from one treatment session to the next.
Surgery
Surgery: Generally, Surgery has been the main effective way of treating the leiomyosarcoma,regardless of the location of the tumor in the body. The goal of surgery is to remove the tumor and some surrounding tissue to cure leiomyosarcoma and to prevent the local recurrence.Lymphadenectomy is generally not required as the tumor usually metastasize hematogenously and rarely through the lymph nodes.
