Desmoid Tumors: Experience from A Referral Center. Part 1- Multidisciplinary Review and Practical Recommendations

Desmoid tumors (DTs), also known as aggressive fibromatosis, are rare neoplasms characterized by local invasiveness and a high risk of recurrence, despite their lack of metastatic potential. The management of these tumors remains challenging due to their unpredictable behavior and heterogeneous presentations. In this two-part study, we first provide a comprehensive review of the scientific evidence on diagnosis and emerging therapeutic strategies for DT. In the second part, we will present a retrospective analysis of our experience at a national reference center for sarcoma treatment, focusing on diagnostic strategies, therapeutic interventions, and clinical outcomes.
