Abstract
Support: No funding was received in the publication of this article. Soft tissue sarcomas represent a group of over 80 rare malignant tumors that arise from tissues of mesenchymal origin throughout the body. Advanced soft tissue sarcoma is treated with single-agent or combination systemic chemotherapy, but is associated with a poor prognosis. Pazopanib (Votrient, Novartis, Basel, Switzerland) is an oral multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has received regulatory approval as a second-line and beyond treatment for metastatic soft tissue sarcoma based on the findings of the phase III PALETTE study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00753688). However, there is a population of elderly and debilitated patients with soft tissue sarcoma who are not fit for standard first-line chemotherapy that is anthracycline-based. As pazopanib is well tolerated with minimal side effects, a phase II study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02300545) investigated the use of pazopanib as front-line therapy in patients with non-resectable or metastatic soft tissue sarcomas who are not candidates for chemotherapy.
期刊介绍:
The Oral History Review, published by the Oral History Association, is the U.S. journal of record for the theory and practice of oral history and related fields. The journal’s primary mission is to explore the nature and significance of oral history and advance understanding of the field among scholars, educators, practitioners, and the general public. The Review publishes narrative and analytical articles and reviews, in print and multimedia formats, that present and use oral history in unique and significant ways and that contribute to the understanding of the nature of oral history and memory. It seeks previously unpublished works that demonstrate high-quality research and that offer new insight into oral history practice, methodology, theory, and pedagogy. Work published in the journal arises from many fields and disciplines, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of oral history. While based in the U.S., the Review reflects the international scope of the field and encourages work from international authors and about international topics.
