Soft Tissue Sarcomas: New Developments in the Multidisciplinary Approach to Treatment

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 56))

Abstract

Soft tissue sarcomas are relatively rare tumors. Each year in the U.S., there are approximately 5,500 new cases and 2,900 deaths attributed to these tumors [1,2]. Approximately 60% of these tumors develop in the extremities.
