MEDICATIONS BEING USE
While there is no cure at the present time, some oncologists are treating ASPS with once a week injection of Peg-Intron.
Another medication that it seems to reduce the tumors in small amount is: Nexavar (Sorafenib) pills. In some cases the patient is treated with both drugs.
These two medications it shows in our data of some effect against ASPS, reducing or disappearing some tumors in the case of the Peg-Intron alone. However please consult with your oncologist, he/she is the only qualify professional to prescribe and give you an opinion.  No all patients react in the same manner. 

SURGERY AND ALTERNATIVES
According to the expert an effective way to control the disease is by surgery. Sometimes this procedure has to be done many times and other alternatives need to be used to avoid the deterioration of the patient’s overall health.
You also have to take into consideration the difficulty of ASPS tumors (they are very vascular) they are call “bleeders” and no all surgeons are familiar with this kind of cancer.  Many doctors are sincere and will tell you that.  It is important to choose someone with experience and proper qualifications.

Although we do not endorse any physician or hospital, we are listing two doctors that we know have been dealing numerous times with ASPS, in a very successful way:

James D. Luketich, M.D. FACS.  Dr. Luketich is professor of surgery; chief of Thoracic and Foregut Surgery; director of Heart, Lung and Esophagel surgery.  He also is a pioneer in using minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Dr. Luketich has performed numerous surgeries on ASPS patient that without his skills and knowledge these patients won’t be alive today.
To contact him please call:
Ms. Angela Scolieri, RN at University of Pittsburg Medical Center – Presbyterian

Peter Littrup. M.D.  Dr. Littrup has been working with ASPS patients since 2003 with his innovative methods in treating cancer tumors in lungs, liver, pelvis and mandible.
Dr. Littrup’s cryosurgery technique uses highly compressed argon gas to freeze a mass, which “autodigest” after cryosurgery, eliminating the need for removing the lump.
Dr. Littrup is the master on this type of technique and has saved many lives giving ASPS patients a quality of life, especially in areas where conventional surgery could leave scars and disfiguration on patient’s face and neck.
To contact Dr. Littrup please call: Ms. Barbara Adams, RN at Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, MI 313 576-8757

Note:  We will post more doctors specializing in ASPS as we get more information.
