  • Title: Multidisciplinary treatment for childhood sarcoma.
    Author: Jaffe N, Murray J, Traggis D, Cassady RJ, Filler RM, Watts H, Weichselbaum R, Weinstein H.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1977 Apr; 133(4):405-13. PubMed ID: 300570.
    Abstract:
    Surgical extirpation of the primary tumor has traditionally been utilized as initial treatment for sarcomas in children. The present report, however, demonstrates that sarcomas are optimally treated by means of a coordianted multidisciplinary approach. The latter offers the potential for achieving improved survival and preservation of organs and limbs, particularly for structures of the head and neck, for extremities, and in the genitourinary system.
