The natural history and prognosticative factors of adult extremity soft tissue sarcomas: an Asian perspective.
INTRODUCTION We describe the natural history of Asian adult soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) in the extremities and predict prognosticative factors for local recurrence, metastasis and tumour-related death. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 1999 and May 2009, 67 adult patients with first presentation STSs of extremity sites underwent surgical treatment at a single institution. The associations...
متن کاملMolecular classification of soft tissue sarcomas and its clinical applications.
Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors that are traditionally classified according to the morphology and type of tissue that they resemble, such as rhabdomyosarcoma, which resembles skeletal muscle. However, the cell of origin is unclear in numerous sarcomas. Molecular genetics analyses have not only assisted in understanding the molecular mechanism in sarcoma pathogenesis but also demons...
متن کاملDiagnosis, classification, and management of soft tissue sarcomas.
BACKGROUND Soft tissue sarcomas are challenging to oncologists due to their unique character, the infrequency of their occurrence, and the difficulties in predicting outcomes. Advances in imaging, as well as improvements in surgical techniques and adjunctive treatment methods, have improved care for patients with these unusual disorders. METHODS The various types of soft tissue tumors are def...
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...
متن کاملSoft-tissue Sarcomas
This article discusses the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of primary soft-tissue sarcomas (STS). These musculoskeletal tumors are a rare and heterogeneous group of malignancies, which are best managed by multidisciplinary teams in specialist sarcoma referral centers. Historically, the standard for local control of these tumors has been amputation. Evolutions in multimodality treatment ...
