Abstract
Soft-tissue sarcomas have traditionally been managed by wide excisional surgery and radiotherapy, with chemotherapy reserved for advanced disease. However, advances in multidisciplinary care have improved the evaluation and treatment of patients with this uncommon tumor. Limb-conserving surgery, superior radiotherapy delivery, and novel adjuvant agents for specific tumors are now available. This article reviews the current understanding and treatment of soft-tissue sarcoma, with an emphasis on recent advances.Keywords
