- Abstract
Soft tissue sarcomas are malignant tumors that arise in the mesoderm. There are over 50 subtypes of these tumors that vary greatly in biological behavior. While small, low-grade lesions may be adequately treated by resection alone; larger, higher-grade lesions require adjuvant therapy to maximize local control. We will examine the prognostic factors that predict for disease recurrence and the role of radiation therapy in this setting. We will also examine the toxicities associated with radiation, and how this information is utilized to help or guide decision making for the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

28. PET-CT in Soft Tissue Malignancies.

- Abstract
Although PET imaging does not play a routine role in the initial diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma, its use has been advocated to direct biopsy in selected patients, by identifying those regions of the tumor that show high metabolic activity. This might, in tumors with substantial necrosis, avoid biopsy of a necrotic zone and yield a better pathologic specimen. In this application, PET-CT provides a substantial advantage over conventional stand-alone PET imaging by allowing confident correlation of intense tumor uptake with easily identifiable regional anatomy shown on CT to plan a CT guided biopsy. An example of another clinical setting in which PET might play a role in guiding biopsy is in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (von Recklinghausen΄s disease). PET-CT imaging shows great promise in the initial evaluation of sarcomas, although its definitive role has not yet been established. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Treatment for STS requires individual tailoring of the approach because of the wide variety of clinical situations that can arise from a tumor that involves a variety of anatomic sites with a range of histologies of variable grade and size. Nevertheless, the following suggestions can serve as useful guides. Surgery is always indicated, but the use of adjuvant therapy can vary according to the anatomic site, size, and histological grade. In general, patients with superfi cial low-grade tumors that are less than 5 cm in diameter can be treated with surgical excision alone when negative margins of ≥1 cm are achieved and can expect excellent local control and survival rates approximating 90%.In patients with intermediate grade lesions, surgical excision with negative margins in combination with radiotherapy has achieved excellent local control, with overall survival rates approximating 80%. For larger, deep-seated tumors, preoperative RT appears to be more effective than postoperative radiation to prevent local tumor recurrence. Acute wound healing complications are higher with preoperative RT for lower extremity lesions, but generally irreversible late complications, including grade 3-4 fi broses, are more common in those patients receiving postoperative RT.In patients with high-grade STS greater than 5 cm, excellent local control can be achieved with surgery and radiotherapy, but at least 50% of these patients will develop metastatic disease. In this setting, the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy may benefi t some and should be considered in the context of a clinical trial, to be followed by defi nitive surgery combined with either pre- or postoperative radiotherapy or BRT.BRT can provide excellent local control and functional results in appropriately selected patients.
