Research Question(s)
- Does chemotherapy (i.e., gemcitabine, gemcitabine plus docetaxel, doxorubicin, or trabectedin) improve clinical outcomes (i.e., tumour response rate, progression-free survival [PFS], overall survival [OS], toxicity, or quality of life [QOL]) in women with inoperable, locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS)?
- Is there a difference in tumour response rate to chemotherapy (i.e., gemcitabine, gemcitabine plus docetaxel, doxorubicin, or trabectedin) between recurrent pelvic disease compared with extra-pelvic metastases in patients with uterine LMS?
