Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is no current literature consensus regarding the optimal diagnostic and treatment approach to soft tissue sarcomas (STSs). Recent publications highlighted new biological aspects and deeper genetic characterization of different types of STS, up-to-date research works focused on a highly personalized medicine approach to the treatment of STS, and modern imaging techniques (e.g. PET-MRI).
In the past decade, the use of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy, new developed immunotherapies, combined Hyperthermia with chemo-irradiation, and advances in radiation therapy techniques, like Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) or the use of Artificial Intelligence to detect radio-sensitive areas of the STS, were studied but conclusive results are still debated.
The growing importance of a multidisciplinary approach of joint surgical and medical treatment of STS, involving an orthopedic surgeon, radiologist, pathologist, vascular, general, and plastic surgeon, medical oncologist, and radiation oncologist, is becoming more prominent.
The aim of the Special issue Is to provide readers with a full comprehensive data collection on up-to-date studies and treatments for defining shared guidelines and obtaining a consensus in approaches to STS.
The following types of submissions will be considered: original studies, meta-analysis and systematic reviews, clinical trial studies.
