Title: Surgical considerations when reporting MRI studies of soft tissue sarcoma of the limbs. Author: De La Hoz Polo M, Dick E, Bhumbra R, Pollock R, Sandhu R, Saifuddin A. Journal: Skeletal Radiol; 2017 Dec; 46(12):1667-1678. PubMed ID: 28884363. Abstract: Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare tumours that require prompt diagnosis and treatment at a specialist centre. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the modality of choice for identification, characterisation, biopsy planning and staging of soft tissue masses. MRI enables both the operating surgeon and patient to be optimally prepared prior to surgery for the likelihood of margin-negative resection and to anticipate possible sacrifice of adjacent structures and consequent loss of function. The aim of this review is to aid the radiologist in performing and reporting MRI studies of soft tissue sarcomas, with particular reference to the requirements of the surgical oncologist.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
