Abstract

Sarcomas are rare neoplasms, whose complex management is a consequence of their heterogeneity. Due to their variegate histology and characteristics, prospective trials are challenging to design. Thus, diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines are often based on limited evidence available, and only few and dated systemic treatment regimens are included in our current practice. For all these reasons, we believe that implementing therapeutic options, including local approach, is mandatory to guarantee the best management possible to patients. We explored evidence about locoregional treatments, assuming they could represent a fundamental part of an integrated oncological approach. The goal is to maximize local control of oligometastatic or oligoprogressive diseases, saving systemic treatment options for later stages, as well as to avoid demolitive surgery in patients affected by locally advanced sarcomas. Although several retrospective and prospective series have been conducted, evidence available is still poor in our opinion. Research should focus on evaluating predictive factors and individualized follow up strategies to identify ideal patients' features and more sensitive histological subtypes.
