Key result
Limb-sparing surgery plus radiotherapy replaces amputation as the gold standard for sarcomas with neurovascular involvement.
Why the study?
Treatment of soft tissue sarcoma cases with major vessel and nerve involvement presents challenges, requiring evaluation of limb-sparing surgery and reconstruction options versus amputation.
This review highlights that limb-sparing surgery combined with radiotherapy has replaced amputation as the gold standard for soft tissue sarcomas with neurovascular involvement.
