Interdisciplinary therapy of extremity soft tissue sarcomas: current evidence on systemic treatments and the role of reconstructive surgery
This case highlights the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration and centralized care in the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas. Plastic reconstructive surgery enables radical oncological resection while preserving function, especially in anatomically complex cases. Early referral to a specialized sarcoma center and adherence to current guidelines (e.g., ESMO-EURACAN-GENTURIS) are essential to achieving optimal oncological and functional outcomes.
