Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sarcoma treatment and research focuses mainly on a cure, but at present, 50–60% of patients will still face a metastatic and/or progressive disease within 5 years after diagnosis. Surgical treatment remains the mainstay of treatment with curative intent, not only aiming to improve the chances of survival but also to improve or maintain a high quality of life and limb function. This Issue focuses on the treatment of bone and soft tissue tumors and highlights both improvements in surgical margin optimalization and perfecting functional reconstructions. We aim to include innovative new reconstructions as well as long-term outcomes of classic limb salvage surgery.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Cancers.
