Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: The treatment was well tolerated, and we observed an important and long-lasting clinical (3/3) and radiological response (2/3) or stabilisation. All the three patients are now stable after five to nine years of treatment. CONCLUSIONS: These encouraging results strongly support a prospective clinical trial in this preselected population.
