Abstract
New advances in multimodality therapy of sarcomas in all anatomic sites are thoroughly described. Multimodality therapy with limb-salvage surgery for extremity tumors, sarcomas of the head and neck, trunk, intraabdominal, visceral, and genitourinary tract and cardiopulmonary system are presented. Separate sections are devoted to the management of pediatric sarcomas, pulmonary metastasis and to the pathology and radiobiology, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy of sarcomas. The text also stresses the philosophy of achieving adequate local control without radical amputation by combined surgery and chemo/radiotherapy.
