Technical Considerations in Surgery for Retroperitoneal Sarcomas: Position Paper from E-Surge, a Master Class in Sarcoma Surgery, and EORTC–STBSG

摘要

Background Surgery is the principal treatment for retroperitoneal sarcoma. These tumors typically involve or abut multiple organs and therefore require multivisceral resections. Despite the complexity of such operations, a standardized approach has not been described. As a result, referral centers often see patients who have undergone suboptimal surgery, with gross disease left behind. This is one of the causes of the dismal prognosis of this disease.
