A Review of Retroperitoneal Liposarcoma Genomics

Retroperitoneal liposarcomas (RPL) are rare tumours that are challenging to manage surgically, and generally respond poorly to chemotherapy. They possess high local recurrence rates and in certain subtypes can metastasise. The retroperitoneum represents the second most common site of origin of these tumours after the extremities. There is general consensus in the sarcoma community that surgery to remove RPL with clear margins is the most beneficial intervention to improve recurrence free survival, and possibly overall survival.
