Abstract
The following recommendations apply to adult-type soft tissue sarcomas arising from limbs and superficial trunk. Recommendations on retroperitoneal sarcomas, desmoid-type fibromatosis and uterine sarcomas are provided separately at the end of the chapter with regard to those main aspects by which they differ from more frequent soft tissue sarcomas. In general, the main principles of diagnosis and treatment may well apply to all soft tissue sarcomas, including the rarest presentations (e.g. visceral sarcomas other than gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), head and neck sarcomas), which therefore are not specifically covered. Specific histological types, however, may deserve specific approaches, which may not be covered hereafter, given the scope of these Recommendations. Extraskeletal Ewing’s family tumors and embryonal and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma are covered by other ESMO Clinical Recommendations, inasmuch as they need completely different approaches. The same applies to GIST.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
