Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Current therapies for Soft Tissue Sarcoma provide very limited benefit to the patient. The anti-cancer properties of Antineoplaston therapy suggest that it may prove beneficial in the treatment of Soft Tissue Sarcoma. PURPOSE: This study is being performed to determine the effects (good and bad) that Antineoplaston therapy has on patients with Soft Tissue Sarcoma.
