Methods: The records of 28 patients diagnosed with advanced or relapsed soft tissue sarcoma who were treated withthe ICE regimen at our center between 2008 and 2020, were evaluated retrospectively. Results: The most common histopathological subtype were pleomorphic sarcoma (9/32.1%). After a median follow-upduration of 8 months, the median PFS and OS were 6 months (95% confidence interval (CI), 3.6–8.3) and 9.3 months(95% CI, 4.7–13.9), respectively. A multivariate analysis for overall survival revealed the ICE treatment line (HR:4.8, 95%Cl 1.7–12.8, p: 0.002), tumor site (HR: 0.12, 95% Cl 0.03–0.4, p: 0.001) and response to ICE regimen (HR: 0.09, 95% Cl0.01–0.49, p: 0.005) to be independent prognostic factors. The group that received 1–2 chemotherapy regimens priorto the ICE regimen recorded better OS than the group received more than two chemotherapy regimens (22.8 monthsvs 5 months, p: 0.006). Conclusion: The ICE regimen may be particularly effective when used for early treatment after doxorubicin-basedtherapy in patients with advanced or relapsed soft tissue sarcomas.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessICE Regimen in Adult Advanced/Relapsed Soft TissueSarcoma Patients; is it More Effective in Early Use?Retrospective Analysis of Single Center StudyICE Regimen in Adult Advanced/Relapsed Soft TissueSarcoma Patients; is it More Effective in Early Use?Retrospective Analysis of Single Center StudyArticle5227428248483810.14744/ejmi.2021.30532
