Abstract
Sarcomas form a heterogenous group of diseases. They often affect young patients and their prognosis is uncertain.
The only hope for curative treatment of these patients is a surgical R0 resection. Chemotherapy is only indicated for certain types of sarcomas and is often only recommended as part of clinical trials.
The article describes 4 different case reports of patients with sarcomas and reflects on the justification of indicating surgical treatment.
