Outcomes in the management of adult soft tissue sarcomas

Jeffrey S Kneisl et al. J Surg Oncol. 2014 Oct.

Abstract

Adult soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are heterogeneous neoplasms that account for 11,410 new diagnoses and 4,390 deaths per year. This article summarizes recent NCCN guidelines for diagnosis and management of STSs of the extremities and retroperitoneum, as well as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). AJCC staging and recently reported NCDB data regarding outcomes are reviewed. Currently accepted STS prognostic variables are presented, as are future directions regarding the utility of molecular prognosticators and nomograms.

Keywords: gastrointestinal stromal tumor; management; outcomes; retroperitoneal sarcoma; soft tissue sarcoma.
