A multimodality approach to the management of soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities, with emphasis on limb preservation.

A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Medicine, University
of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the
requirements for the degree of Master of Medicine in Therapeutic Radiology. / Soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities were previously
treated either with wide excision alone, leading to a 30 to
50% local recurrence rate, or amputation, which although
lead to a recurrence rate of less than 5%, caused
significant physical and psychological morbidity. In
addition to the :risk of local recurrence, distant
metaatases occur in 30 to 50% of high grade lesions.(Abbreviation abstract) / Andrew Chakane 2018
