The Management of Head and Neck Sarcoma

Conclusions: Head and neck sarcomas, although rare, can represent a variety of pathological diagnoses. Surgery remains the main intervention although the data suggest chemotherapy, radical resection and irradiation as treatment. Outcomes are poor with high rates of local recurrence. Positive prognostic factors were tumor-free resection margins and choice of therapy. Due to the rarity of head and neck sarcoma, information remains limited and choice of treatment should be within the focus of clinical multi-center studies.
