Management of extremity soft tissue sarcomas
This article provides an understanding of the evaluation, staging, and management of patients with extremity soft tissue sarcoma. Although there are straightforward guidelines to the management of patients with extremity soft tissue sarcoma, each patient presents with a unique tumor, and considerations for tumor control, functional outcome, and the toxicity of therapy must be considered. As is ...
متن کاملMetachronous Bilateral Extremity Soft Tissue Sarcomas
BACKGROUND Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) account for approximately 1% of adult malignancies, with 50 to 60% occurring in the extremities. Liposarcoma is the most common type of STS and represent about 20% of total adult sarcomas. There are rare syndromes associated with increased risk of developing STS. Further, chemical compounds such as chlorinated phenols and a few chemotherapeutic drugs have b...
متن کاملBiopsies in the Community Lead to Postoperative Complications in Soft Tissue Sarcomas.
Percutaneous biopsies allow for precise diagnosis in soft tissue sarcomas and have a low rate of complications. However, it is unknown whether biopsies performed in a community setting lead to higher rates of wound complications at the time of resection. The goal of this study was to determine whether percutaneous biopsies performed at a sarcoma center have lower rates of wound complications co...
متن کاملPredictors of Wound Complications following Radiation and Surgical Resection of Soft Tissue Sarcomas
Wound complications represent a major source of morbidity in patients undergoing radiation therapy (RT) and surgical resection of soft tissue sarcomas (STS). We investigated whether factors related to RT, surgery, patient comorbidities, and tumor histopathology predict the development of wound complications. An observational study of patients who underwent STS resection and RT was performed. Th...
متن کاملSoft Tissue Sarcomas
Soft tissue sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of malignant neoplasms of mesenchymal origin. They account for approximately 1% of all cancer diagnoses and 7% of pediatric malignancies (1,2). Just over half of these patients eventually succumb as a result of the disease. Soft tissue sarcomas typically present as asymptomatic large masses within the retroperitoneum or the proximal lower limbs but...
