Purpose: Cure models are a useful alternative to Cox proportional hazards models in oncology studies when there is a subpopulation of patients who will not experience the event of interest. Although software is available to fit cure models, there are limited tools to evaluate, report, and visualize model results. This article introduces the R package, an end-to-end pipeline for building mixture cure models, and demonstrates its use in a data set of patients with primary extremity and truncal liposarcoma.

Background: Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is a rare and locally infiltrative tumor that commonly occurs in extremities in older adults; however, truncal and head and neck cases have been reported. They are characterized by multinodular growth, incomplete fibrous septa, and myxoid stroma. Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment.

The number of recognized epithelioid soft tissue neoplasms continues to increase and includes epithelioid schwannoma, sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma, and emerging entities such as sarcomas with GLI1 alterations. Here, we describe 23 cases of a previously unrecognized entity, provisionally termed "pseudoendocrine sarcoma." Pseudoendocrine sarcoma is a rare, distinctive tumor of uncertain lineage with a predilection for paravertebral soft tissue in older adults.

The spectrum of benign superficial fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumors continues to expand and includes entities such as plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumor, dermatomyofibroma and fibroblastic connective tissue nevus. Here, we describe a seemingly distinctive group of lesions which we have labeled "plexiform myofibroblastoma" (PM). PM is a rare superficial mesenchymal tumor of fibroblastic/myofibroblastic lineage that predominantly occurs in children and young adults.

Background: Recurrence after wide excision or residual tumor after an unplanned excision of a malignant soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a complex problem, due to a higher recurrence rate and poorer survival rate compared with primary resection. Regional hyperthermia was used, with the expectation that it will enhance the anti-tumor effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of neoadjuvant concomitant radiotherapy, hyperthermia, and chemotherapy (RHC) for salvage of recurrent or residual malignant STS.
