Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, the prognosis has been improved for diagnosing and treating bone and soft tissue sarcoma in the extremities due to advances in surgical techniques, chemotherapy, and imaging modalities. Survival in patients with bone and soft tissue sarcoma improved in the 1990s and 2000s. However, orthopedic oncologists have still faced infiltrative aggressive tumors, unresectable tumors, and advanced metastatic tumors. The prognosis has not changed over the last 20 years. To overcome those, new diagnoses and treatments should be developed.
Therefore, in this Special Issue, I would like to invite original papers and review articles that describe possible new techniques of diagnostic devices, surgery, and radiotherapy. Possible chemotherapy and immunotherapy for improving survival in patients with bone and soft tissue sarcoma are also welcome.
Both basic and clinical research are invited.
I am looking forward to receiving your contribution.
Dr. Tomoki Nakamura
Guest Editor
