Surgical Strategies for Soft Tissue Sarcoma

All surgeries were performed by the multidisciplinary team for soft tissue sarcoma at Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University. Well differentiated liposarcoma and low-grade dedifferentiated liposarcoma are mainly local recurrences, so we implement a more aggressive surgical strategy (even if the surrounding organs of the tumor are not violated by the naked eye, they will be resected together); for high-grade dedifferentiated liposarcoma, If it is evaluated that there is the invasion of surrounding organs, complete radical resection should be attempted, and combined organ resection should also be performed; leiomyosarcoma often presents as a tumor with clear borders, and if the surrounding organs invade the adjacent units of the tumor, it should be preserved; for pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, and solitary fibrous tumor, complete resection with negative margins is enough.
