Current management of chest-wall tumors
1989
Surgical resection remains the primary treatment for most tumors primary in the chest wall, with adjuvant radiotherapy increasing the local control rate when the surgical margins are narrow. A pretreatment histologic diagnosis is desirable, as induction chemotherapy augments local and distant control of osteosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, and some adult soft-tissue sarcomas. Chest-wall resection frequently is beneficial in patients with localized or symptomatic recurrences or metastases from breast cancer or other malignancy.
