This article provides an understanding of the evaluation, staging, and management of patients with extremity soft tissue sarcoma. Although there are straightforward guidelines to the management of patients with extremity soft tissue sarcoma, each patient presents with a unique tumor, and considerations for tumor control, functional outcome, and the toxicity of therapy must be considered. As is true for patients diagnosed with sarcoma at other anatomic sites, a multidisciplinary team approach streamlines care with attention to the complexities and intricacies of choosing and delivering optimal therapy.
本文介绍了肢体软组织肉瘤患者的评估、分期及管理。尽管对于肢体软组织肉瘤患者的管理有直接的指导原则，但每个患者的肿瘤都具有独特性，必须考虑肿瘤控制、功能结局及治疗毒性等因素。正如在其他解剖部位诊断为肉瘤的患者一样，多学科团队方法可简化治疗过程，同时关注选择和提供最佳治疗的复杂性和精细之处。
