Clinical outcomes of minimally invasive surgery using acridine orange for musculoskeletal sarcomas around the forearm, compared with conventional limb salvage surgery after wide resection

We recently developed and established a new surgical therapy combining photodynamic surgery and radiodynamic therapy using acridine orange (AO) therapy after marginal or intralesional tumor resection, providing excellent limb function to sarcoma patients. The present study evaluated local recurrence rate and limb function using Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score of patients with primary musculoskeletal sarcoma around the forearm treated with AO therapy, compared to that of patients treated with conventional wide resection.
