Objective:
To conduct an epidemiologic review, analyzing treatment, evolution, and survival of soft tissue sarcomas.
Methods:
Retrospective study based on medical records of patient with STS treated by the Orthopedic Oncology Group at the Santa Casa de São Paulo, from 2006 to 2019. Data from 121 patients were analyzed according to age, sex, histological type, tumor location, treatment, previous surgery in a non-specialized service, local recurrences, lung metastases, and survival analysis.
Results:
The most frequent location was the thigh. Patients who underwent surgery with a non-specialized group had higher rates of local recurrence and those with pulmonary metastasis had a lower survival rate.
Conclusion:
STS can occur at any age and the prevalence of the histological type depends on the patients' age group.

Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
