title: Current concepts in the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas.
abstract: Soft tissue sarcomas encompass a wide variety of lesions and continue to pose a different treatment problem. However the outlook is improving. Recent advances in pre-treatment assessment and pathological assessment of soft tissue sarcomas have resulted in more accurate clinical staging. In addition, recent advances in surgical adjuvant treatment programmes hold promise for better results.
