Description
Summary:Thoracic CT and FDG-PET scans showed no evidence of metastatic disease. The case was discussed in a multidisciplinary treatment meeting where surgical resection followed by adjuvant external-beam radiotherapy treatment was deemed the best treatment strategy based on the histological tumour variant (synovial sarcoma). Rare aggressive tumour subtypes, which do not increase PSA levels, are difficult to diagnose and treat because they usually present late. [...]personalised treatments and multispecialty collaboration can yield improved functional and oncological results.
