Sarcoma Survival Study 2009
| |
Pleomorphic, clear cell and angio are only a small representation of a broader class of tumors categorized as sarcoma. The goal of this manuscript is to review the nationally published literature on sarcoma and compare our outcomes at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. These soft tissue and bony cancers have captivated clinicians for years. Each must be individually approached for a “best fit” treatment plan.
To emphasize the multidisciplinary approach to these rare tumors, we offer a case presentation. Surgery offers the best chance for cure, but due to the variable presentations of sarcoma, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation may all be in the treatment armamentarium.
