Hi I was just diagnosed with radiation induced leiomyosarcoma last month.want to know what kind of treatment you get after first diagnosis. Doctor said my surgery has a margin positive on one side due to space limitation. Seems no target treatment for radiology induced sarcoma (Gene mutation is different, not on a single DNA), no immune treatment, so the only option is chemo? Plan to visit MD Anderson for some advice.

Have you had surgery already? I did AIM chemo, surgery(negative margin but from the treatment), and proton therapy for the first time. Yeah, seems like targeted therapy and immunotherapy aren't options.

By the way, my sarcoma is also inside my mouth after Head and neck treatment at the original cancer location. Radiology damaged my mandible bone and created leiomyosarcoma.
