Hi. Alveolar soft part sarcoma is a very rare cancer and there is limited experience because of very few patients world wide.
Since the disease of Mr. Rishav Srivastava is metastatic, cure is probably not possible.
If I am treating him, I will advise sunitinib tablet.
Radiotherapy to primary is indicated if there is pain or bleeding at primary sit not controlled by conservative measures.
I do not know of any evidence of benefit of Interferone Alpha in this disease.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
