• Abstract:

  Sarcoma is a neoplasm with several subtypes that often can only be differentiated through biopsy. They have high morbidity and mortality related to their treatment, so that early diagnosis favors the survival of their patients.

              There is still no consensus on the best way to manage these patients, either by using neoadjuvant therapy, isolated resection or associated with adjuvant radiotherapy, in such a way that the recurrence rates are very high, reaching close to 50% when in lesions larger than 5 centimeters.

              It is important to point out that, for this reason, these patients must be followed up by a multidisciplinary team on a regular basis, with the aim of detecting relapses early, providing the best possible assistance.
