Management of Retroperitoneal Sarcomas

Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) represent approximately 10–20% of all soft tissue sarcomas. The anatomical location and relationship to important structures pose unique complexities in the management of these patients. These often giant tumours have been described in literature dating back to 1761, but it is only in the last few decades that the understanding and treatment of these tumours has begun to consolidate and advance [1].
