The previous volume of this series on soft tissue sarcomas
highlighted the importance of the multidisciplinary approach to
treatment, the focus of which is continued in the present edition.
Proper diagnosis and staging remain the cornerstone of the
treatment strategy. Sophisticated histopathology techniques and
growing consensus on grading systems have further increased the
importance of the histopathologist in providing estimates of the
prognosis of the patient as well as providing data for the planning
of treatment strategy. The use of cytogenetics is relatively new in
this field. This might enable the distinction of subgroups in
specific histological tumor types. Furthermore, molecular
biological studies not only help to reveal inherited
predispositions and details in oncogenesis in tumor development,
but they may also provide additional predictive factors for tumor
behavior. Further data on treatment strategy will be provided by
diagnostic imaging, a field in which the role of magnetic resonance
imaging is rapidly developing. As far as actual treatment is
concerned, surgery still provides the major chance for cure. In
view of the endeavor to be as sparing as possible, the addition of
radiotherapy to surgery is of utmost importance. Usually
radiotherapy is given after surgery, but the optimal sequence of
the two modalities still needs to be defined. The combined use of
surgery with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy does have an impact
on wound healing.
