title: Soft-tissue sarcomas.
abstract: Sarcomas of the soft tissues are challenging lesions for the surgical oncologist. Careful planning must be done at all stages of diagnosis and treatment, because every sarcoma is unique with respect to histologic type, size, and location. Pretreatment discussions in a multidisciplinary format are useful to ensure appropriate and effective management of these tumors.
