Emerging innovations and advancements in the treatment of extremity and truncal soft tissue sarcomas

Kyle Walker et al. J Surg Oncol. 2024 Jan.

Abstract

In this special edition update on soft tissue sarcomas (STS), we cover classifications, emerging technologies, prognostic tools, radiation schemas, and treatment disparities in extremity and truncal STS. We discuss the importance of enhancing local control and reducing complications, including the role of innovative imaging, surgical guidance, and hypofractionated radiation. We review advancements in systemic and immunotherapeutic treatments and introduce disparities seen in this vulnerable population that must be considered to improve overall patient care.

Keywords: extremity sarcoma; health disparities; immunotherapy; prognostics; radiotherapy; soft tissue sarcoma; surgical Innovations.
