What the procedure involves.
Soft tissue sarcoma treatment in China centers on wide surgical excision with clear margins combined with radiation therapy and chemotherapy for high-grade tumors. Major Chinese sarcoma centers offer limb-sparing surgery with advanced reconstruction techniques, avoiding amputation in most cases. Access to clinical trials for novel targeted agents and immunotherapy combinations provides additional options for rare subtypes.
Step by step.
Biopsy & Molecular Classification
Core needle biopsy with immunohistochemistry and molecular testing to classify sarcoma subtype
Imaging & Staging
MRI of primary tumor, CT chest for metastatic screening, and PET-CT if indicated
Wide Surgical Excision
Tumor removal with 1-2cm margins, limb-sparing when possible, with vascular/nerve preservation
Adjuvant Radiation ± Chemotherapy
Radiation for close/positive margins; doxorubicin-based chemo for high-grade large tumors
- Limb-sparing surgery achievable in majority of cases
- Molecular classification guides targeted therapy options
- Multidisciplinary sarcoma tumor boards at major centers
- Access to clinical trials for rare subtypes
- Local recurrence risk especially with close margins
- Radiation-induced fibrosis and limb stiffness
- Chemotherapy cardiotoxicity with doxorubicin
- Functional impairment depending on tumor location
