Soft Tissue Sarcomas
Soft tissue sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of malignant neoplasms of mesenchymal origin. They account for approximately 1% of all cancer diagnoses and 7% of pediatric malignancies (1,2). Just over half of these patients eventually succumb as a result of the disease. Soft tissue sarcomas typically present as asymptomatic large masses within the retroperitoneum or the proximal lower limbs but...
متن کاملSoft-tissue Sarcomas

Fifteen cases of vulvar sarcomas were studied. The most common neoplasm was leiomyosarcoma, which also had the least favorable prognosis with a tendency to develop local recurrences and disseminated hematogenous metastases. The second most frequent sarcoma belonged to the fibrous histiocytoma group. Although they are unpredictable, they tended to be less aggressive than the leiomysarcomas. Othe...
متن کاملMolecular targeted therapies in non-GIST soft tissue sarcomas: what the radiologist needs to know
Non-gastrointestinal stromal soft tissue sarcomas are uncommon neoplasms that have a dismal prognosis due to a high incidence of metastases and a poor response to conventional chemotherapy. The identification of characteristic genetic alterations in several of these tumors has opened the window for molecular targeted therapies in patients who have failed conventional chemotherapy. Imaging plays...
متن کاملTrabectedin in Soft Tissue Sarcomas

There are over 60 different histological subtypes, each with their own unique biological behavior and response to systemic therapy. The outcome for patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma is poor with few available systemic treatment options. For decades, the mainstay ...
