Simple Summary: Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are rare cancers, making up less than 1% of all adult malignancies. Traditionally, the primary treatment for STS has been surgical resection. However, non-surgical approaches are becoming increasingly important in specific clinical situations. In this review, we explore the role of non-surgical treatments in managing STS, including their use as a bridge to surgery, as alternatives to surgery, for improving surgical outcomes, and for managing cases where surgery is not an option. Our findings highlight the effectiveness of these strategies in enhancing patient care and outcomes, providing a more personalized and less invasive approach to STS treatment. This review aims to advance the understanding and application of non-surgical methods in the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas. Mesenchymal tumors originate from mesenchymal cells and can be either benign or malignant, such as bone, soft tissue, and visceral sarcomas. Surgery is a cornerstone treatment in the management of mesenchymal tumors, often requiring complex procedures performed in high-volume referral centers. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted this need for alternative non-surgical approaches due to limited access to surgical resources. This review explores the role of non-surgical treatments in different clinical scenarios: for improving surgical outcomes, as a bridge to surgery, as better alternatives to surgery, and for non-curative treatment when surgery is not feasible. We discuss the effectiveness of active surveillance, cryoablation, high-intensity focused ultrasound, and other ablative techniques in managing these tumors. Additionally, we examine the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in gastrointestinal stromal tumors and hypofractionated radiotherapy in soft tissue sarcomas. The Sarculator tool is highlighted for its role in stratifying high-risk sarcoma patients and personalizing treatment plans. While surgery remains the mainstay of treatment, integrating advanced non-surgical strategies can enhance therapeutic possibilities and patient care, especially in specific clinical settings with limitations. A multidisciplinary approach in referral centers is vital to determine the optimal treatment course for each patient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
