文摘

For extremity soft tissue sarcomas, limb salvage is now standard of care. The extent of surgical margins is balanced with functionality of the resected limb. Although negative margins are the goal, the necessary width is unclear. Additional considerations for margin adequacy include presence of anatomic barriers such as fascia and periosteum, proximity of critical structures, receipt of adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies, and histologic subtype. Multidisciplinary team discussion is critical for treatment planning. J. Surg. Oncol. 2016;113:333–338.
