Methods: We reviewed the clinical data of 56 patients who experienced recurrence after fibrosarcoma resection and who received chemotherapy from September 2015 to September 2017 (no significant difference in general data of patients) (p>0.05). Differences in drug use and adverse effects were observed between patients who received monotherapy and those who received regular chemotherapy (MAID/AI). Results: Compared with the regular chemotherapy group, patients in the apatinib monotherapy group exhibited an improved overall response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR). In patients treated with apatinib, the incidence of adverse reactions was improved, and the symptoms were mild (P<0.05). Conclusion: Apatinib is a single-drug regimen that can be used in cases of recurrence of fibrosarcoma with high expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2); its short-term efficacy is excellent, and its side effects are minimal. This drug may be used as part of a regular chemotherapy program.
