Contemporary Management of Retroperitoneal Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Abstract: Management of retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas (RP STS) can be very challenging. In contrast to the more common extremity STS, the two predominant histologic subtypes encountered in the retroperitoneum are well-differentiated/dedifferentiated liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment for RP STS. Preoperative planning and anticipation of the need for resection of adjacent organs/structures are critical. The extent of surgery, including the role of compartmental resection, is … Show more

“…Aggressive multivisceral resection of involved organs is often necessary in order to achieve complete RPS extirpation with negative margins and the greatest chance for cure . Most frequently this includes retroperitoneal structures such as ipsilateral colon, kidney or psoas muscles/fascia.…”

“…The optimal treatment for patients with localised, resectable retroperitoneal sarcomas is surgery with negative margins 4. Although negative microscopic margins (R0) are ideal, this is difficult to achieve technically from a surgery standpoint and to truly evaluate from a pathology standpoint for these often large tumours.…”

“…Retroperitoneal liposarcomas are arguably much more challenging to treat from a surgical standpoint than are extremity liposarcomas 23, 24 . Tumors in the retroperitoneum are frequently massive in size (median 30 cm) and can involve adjacent visceral organs and critical structures.…”
