Surgical aspects of management of soft tissue sarcomas

Management of patients with soft tissue sarcomas elsewhere in the body (annual incidence in the Czech Republic about 350 cases) should

be concentrated only to limited number of hospitals and teams which are able to provide comprehensive diagnostic services, including

specialized histopathology, multidisciplinary spectrum of surgical operations, external radiotherapy and interstitial brachyradiotherapy,

systemic and regional chemotherapy, careful long-term follow-up of patients and self-evaluation of therapeutic outcomes. Results of

chaotic and scattered management can not be improved even by the newest diagnostic or therapeutic technology.

Keywords: soft tissue sarcomas, abdominal and retroperitoneal sarcomas, surgical diagnosis and treatment
