Opinion statement

For localized extremity soft tissue sarcoma (eSTS), treatment is individualized and each patient needs to be evaluated by a multidisciplinary team at a referral sarcoma center specialized in the care of sarcoma. For a majority of patients, treatment for eSTS involves limb-salvage surgery, with or without the addition of radiation therapy. Surgery should only be performed by surgeons specifically fellowship trained in the resection of eSTS. Surgery alone may be considered for small, low-grade, and superficial tumors as long a wide (≥ 2 cm) margin can be achieved. In cases where a less than wide negative margin can be achieved, radiation therapy should be utilized to facilitate a planned close margin resection to preserve critical structures (such as nerves, blood vessels, and bone) without a significant impact on oncologic outcomes. Soft tissue sarcomas are rare, and as such patients often present following an inadvertent excision. In these situations, we recommend preoperative radiation and wide tumor bed re-excision, as rates of residual tumor can be high in this scenario. While there is large amount of evidence to support the use of radiotherapy to enhance local tumor control, the evidence to support the use of chemotherapy to enhance local tumor control is lacking, and as such cannot be recommended for all patients.
