Soft tissue tumor imaging in adults: European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology-Guidelines 2024: imaging immediately after neoadjuvant therapy in soft tissue sarcoma, soft tissue tumor surveillance, and the role of interventional radiology.

December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The ESSR updated its 2015 consensus on soft tissue tumor imaging due to advancements in technology and updated classifications.
- A panel of 46 radiologists from 12 European countries used a validated Delphi method to reach consensus on imaging strategies, resulting in high agreement on 47 statements.
- Key findings highlight that MRI is preferred for monitoring soft tissue sarcomas, with chest CT recommended for assessing metastasis and interventional radiology playing a role in treating specific cases.
Soft tissue tumor imaging in adults: whole-body staging in sarcoma, non-malignant entities requiring special algorithms, pitfalls and special imaging aspects. Guidelines 2024 from the European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR).

Objectives: The revised European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR) consensus guidelines on soft tissue tumor imaging represent an update of 2015 after technical advancements, further insights into specific entities, and revised World Health Organization (2020) and AJCC (2017) classifications. This second of three papers covers algorithms once histology is confirmed: (1) standardized whole-body staging, (2) special algorithms for non-malignant entities, and (3) multiplicity, genetic tumor syndromes, and pitfalls.
Materials And Methods: A validated Delphi method based on peer-reviewed literature was used to derive consensus among a panel of 46 specialized musculoskeletal radiologists from 12 European countries.
Article Synopsis
- Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a rare disease characterized by progressive muscle deterioration, and this study aims to evaluate muscle fat infiltration patterns using quantitative MRI.
- Researchers examined 43 OPMD patients over 20 months, focusing on orofacial and leg muscles, and found the tongue and adductor magnus muscles to be the most affected by fat infiltration.
- MRI results showed significant increases in fat fraction in various muscles over the study period, indicating its potential as a biomarker for monitoring disease progression in OPMD.
Objectives: Early, accurate diagnosis is crucial for the prognosis of patients with soft tissue sarcomas. To this end, standardization of imaging algorithms, technical requirements, and reporting is therefore a prerequisite. Since the first European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR) consensus in 2015, technical achievements, further insights into specific entities, and the revised WHO-classification (2020) and AJCC staging system (2017) made an update necessary.

Nevertheless, local recurrence rates are high. Data on prognostic factors for poor clinical outcomes are lacking.
