The role of standard and novel radiotherapy approaches in management of retroperitoneal sarcomas.

Primary non-metastatic retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma patients can be cured by radical surgery. However there remains a risk for patients to develop a local recurrence.

This review summarizes all issues that should be considered for the irradiation of patients with retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma.
