Abstract
A Multidisciplinary approach to the management of soft tissue sarcomas has led to improvements in the rates of local control, despite increasing use of limb salvage procedures. However, metastasis, which seems to correlate with higher histological grade, remains a distressingly frequent problem, occurring in approximately 30% of individuals, often in the absence of local failure.
A study conducted by the Soft Tissue & Bone Sarcoma Group of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer.
