Abstract

Leiomyosarcomas, endometrial stromal sarcomas, and carcinosarcomas differ widely in tumor biology, and their treatment is being addressed in separate trials. Unfortunately, therapeutic progress is slow because of the relatively rarity of these tumors. Recent trials using well defined patient populations are helping to define effect hormonal and chemotherapeutic strategies.
