Surgical resection is the primary treatment for musculoskeletal tumors. Adjuvant therapies like radiation and chemotherapy improve survival, while limb salvage is achievable with reconstructive options.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal System

Background:

  • Musculoskeletal tumors necessitate diverse treatment strategies.
  • Surgical resection remains the cornerstone for primary tumor management.
  • Advanced therapies enhance survival rates for high-grade sarcomas.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline current therapeutic approaches for musculoskeletal tumors.
  • To emphasize the role of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.
  • To highlight advancements in functional limb salvage.

Main Methods:

  • Review of surgical resection techniques.
  • Integration of radiation therapy and chemotherapy protocols.
  • Application of reconstructive methods for skeletal defects.

Main Results:

  • Surgical resection is the mainstay for curative treatment.
  • Adjuvant therapies significantly improve survival in high-grade sarcomas.
  • Limb salvage is feasible using prostheses, homografts, or autografts.

Conclusions:

  • Multimodal treatment is crucial for optimal outcomes in musculoskeletal tumors.
  • Surgical expertise combined with adjuvant therapies offers the best prognosis.
  • Reconstructive techniques enable successful functional limb preservation.
