Experimental Treatments

Introduction
DSRCT is a rare cancer and unfortunately there is no standardized protocol to follow. The result has been that individual patients are often faced or interested in using experimental treatment. This is not the same as Alternative or Complementary treatment. Generally this is treatment that may be used for other types of cancers or is treatment that is untested.

Assay-Directed Therapy
Assay-directed therapy involves taking a sample of the tumor and sending it to a lab where it will be tested to see which chemo will treat it most effectively.
