Uncommon and peculiar soft tissue sarcomas: multidisciplinary review and practical recommendations for diagnosis and treatment. Spanish Group for Sarcoma Research (GEIS –GROUP). Part I

Soft Tissue Sarcomas (STS) is a heterogeneous and complex group of mesenchymal tumors with an annual incidence of 50-60 new cases per million people and year, which means about 1% of malignancies [1]. In the last WHO classification of Sarcomas, there are 64 locally aggressive and/or malignant subtypes, and this number is increasing, since new advances in molecular diagnosis have diversified and split up tumors into new diagnostic categories [2]. There are some subtypes with higher incidence like GIST, liposarcoma, leiomyosarcomas, and undifferentiated sarcomas, on which most of guidelines are focused, and which share somehow a similar therapeutic approach [3,4].
