Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are rare, heterogeneous (>150 subtypes), and of mesenchymal origin. They represent less than 1% of adult tumors and can be located anywhere in the body. Under these conditions, a multidisciplinary approach to sarcomas is mandatory. During the last decades, due to the advancement in chemotherapy and surgical techniques, the survival rate has reached approximately 50% in patients with sarcoma. However, survival rates have not improved during the last 20 years. New biomarkers and therapeutic strategies are necessary to further improve prognosis. Likewise, focus on these patients in reference centers is of vital importance to ensure a correct diagnosis and personalized treatment with a correct incorporation of new diagnostic–therapeutic technologies, and thus to improve the medium- and long-term prognosis of these patients.
We are pleased to invite you to collaborate in this Special Issue of the Soft Tissue Sarcomas. This Special Issue will explore how the sarcomas subgroup relates to the scope of the journal.
In this Special Issue, we propose an approach to the recent progress in diagnosis and treatment and the greater impact on the prognosis of the most prevalent subtypes of sarcomas.
Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: immunotherapy in sarcomas, IA and sarcomas, 3D imaging in sarcomas, new surgical approaches in sarcomas, pelvic sarcomas, sarcomas of the cava veins and others venous locations, retroperitoneal sarcomas, medical gestion and referent centers in sarcomas, treatment of desmoid tumors, treatment approaches to metastasic sarcomas, the state-of-the-art in the medical management of sarcomas, etc.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
