Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) gather over 80 histological entities, with even more molecular subsets, characterised by a low to very low incidence in all populations. The majority of sarcomas arise from the soft tissue (close to 75%), with 15% gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) and 10% bone sarcomas. These ESMO-EURACAN (European Society for Medical Oncology-European Reference Network for rare adult solid cancers) Clinical Practice Guidelines cover STSs, while GISTs are covered by dedicated ESMO-EURACAN Clinical Practice Guidelines [1].
