Approaches for treatment of common sarcoma
Approaches for treatment of common sarcoma
Surgery is the most important treatment, chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be offered as adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy. Special cases to note:
Liposarcoma - surgical resection with adjuvant radiotherapy
Osteosarcoma - neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery, with radiotherapy as second line treatment
Chemotherapy can be used as sole treatment in advanced sarcomas as palliative care. Note, we do not use radiology on gastrointestinal sarcomas (or any other GI neoplasia for that matter!)
