Soft tissue tumor imaging in adults: European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology–Guidelines 2024: imaging immediately after neoadjuvant therapy in soft tissue sarcoma, soft tissue tumor surveillance, and the role of interventional radiology
Question An ESSR consensus update on soft tissue tumor imaging regarding surveillance became necessary due to technical advancements, further entity-specific insights, and revised WHO- and AJCC-classifications. Findings Imaging immediately after neoadjuvant therapy in soft tissue sarcoma is pivotal. Post-therapeutic surveillance should include imaging at regular intervals, stratified for tumor grade and type. Clinical relevance The updated ESSR soft tissue tumor imaging guidelines aim to provide best practice expert consensus for standardized imaging, to support radiologists in their decision-making, and to improve examination comparability, both in individual patients and in future studies on individualized strategies.
