Background: The modern multimodal treatment of malignant tumors has increased disease-specific survival and decreased the burden of tumor-associated complications. The main focus of palliative surgery is not based primarily on quantitative success parameters of tumor response but is instead mainly on the question of quality of life.
Aim: The current study was conducted to analyze the clinical and oncological outcomes of palliative patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
Background And Objectives: Excessive preoperative blood orders frequently occur during the preoperative planning of resections of sarcomas. We aimed to develop a prediction score model that would be able to identify a patient cohort in which the cross-matching could be safely evaded.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data of 309 consecutive patients with extra-abdominal soft tissue sarcomas treated between September 2012 and December 2014.
Reported is an 80-year-old patient with septic shock from necrotizing fasciitis secondary to a Vibrio vulnificus (Vv) infection. The patient reports having been swimming in the Baltic Sea after a minor trauma to the left leg. Emergency superficial necrosectomy followed by intensive medical therapy was performed.

This study aimed to assess clinical features and provide a long-term report of the oncological outcome.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed our clinical database for patients with ES of the distal upper extremities.
Background: Angiosarcomas are rare and heterogeneous tumors with poor prognosis. The clinical subtypes are classified depending on the primary site and etiology.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, monocentric study of 136 patients with localized AS between May 1985 and November 2018.
