Resection of Primary Leiomyosarcoma of the Inferior Vena Cava and Reconstruction with a Cadaveric Homograft.

Background: Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a rare malignancy arising from the smooth muscle, which affects the inferior vena cava (IVC) in 30-40% of cases; the cure relies on complete surgical resection, demanding meticulous oncological and vascular planning. The efficacy of preoperative chemotherapy is currently under investigation. Restoration of vessel continuity and blood flow must be tailored to each individual case.

Breast Cancer After Reduction Mammoplasty: A Population-Based Analysis of Incidence, Treatment and Screening Patterns.

Background: The risk of breast cancer may be decreased in women who undergo reduction mammoplasty. The purpose of this study was to describe the incidence and treatment of breast cancer after reduction mammoplasty and to better understand the use of breast cancer screening modalities in these patients.

Methods: This population-based retrospective analysis utilized the Discharge Abstract Database held by the Canadian Institute for Health Information and the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System to identify all women aged 20 years or older who underwent reduction mammoplasty in Alberta, Canada.

Six Surgical Stages in the Resection of Primary Right Retroperitoneal Liposarcoma: A Standardized Comprehensive Approach.

Background: Surgery is the treatment mainstay in retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS), a frontline comprehensive approach based on tumor removal en bloc with adherent viscera is mandatory especially for liposarcoma, where the normal retroperitoneal fat is undistinguishable from the well-differentiated tumor component. In this video, a reproducible and standardized six-stage approach to a primary right retroperitoneal liposarcoma is presented.

Patient And Methods: A 23-cm right retroperitoneal, well-differentiated liposarcoma was diagnosed in a 68-year-old female patient in December 2021.

Next questions in the management of retroperitoneal sarcoma.

Purpose Of Review: Retroperitoneal soft-tissue sarcomas (RPS) are a group of rare, histologically distinct tumours with variable recurrence patterns depending on histological type. This review will discuss the growing body of evidence supporting histology-specific, multidisciplinary management and highlight areas of future research for patients with RPS.

Recent Findings: Histology-tailored surgery is the cornerstone of management in patients with localized RPS.
