AB An improved understanding of tumor biology and relevant surgical anatomy has led to advances in therapy for bone and soft tissue sarcoma over the past 50 years. Substantial progress has been made in surgery, radiation therapy, and systemic therapy, offering patients with sarcoma hope for successful treatment and a meaningful quality of life.
