Abstract:
Liposarcomas are rare tumors arising from adipocytic tissue and accounting for approximately 15-20% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Liposarcoma can be further classified into histopathological subtypes with variable chemosensitivity according to subtype. Decisions regarding management should be made on an individual basis, but surgery for localized disease and systemic chemotherapy remain the mainstay of treatment. Currently, only doxorubicin and trabectedin have robust Phase III data to support their use in the management of advanced liposarcoma. However, in the subgroup analysis of a Phase III trial comparing eribulin with dacarbazine, there was a greater than 7-month improvement in median overall survival in those treated with eribulin. There are also promising results from emerging studies in novel and targeted agents for the treatment of liposarcoma.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
