Abstract

Metastectomy or resection of sarcomas which have metastasized to the lung from other sites has a long and established history. At present, there are more than forty different drugs with activity in soft tissue sarcomas. A number of sarcomas demonstrate differential sensitivities to chemotherapy and targeted agents. Intimate knowledge of the biological behavior of each distinct type of sarcoma should predicate what treatment or protocol is most suitable. Certain patients might benefit from either neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy following the resection of metastatic lesions. Much remains to be learned about the differential sensitivities of various sarcomas to different treatment regimens.
