RPS: what is accepted/a standard • LRFS/OS are better when the patient is managed in a specialized center • Percutaneousretroperitoneal core biopsy to confirm diagnosis/discuss neo adjuvant treatment/adapt extent of resection (except in typical case DD+WD LPS outside a trial) • No open/laparoscopic biopsy/frozen section = peritoneal contamination/unhelpful/risks of mistakes • Most of the wrong surgeries are due to tumor left behind (bad analysis of imaging)/piecemeal resections • Primary en-bloc complete resection with uninvolved adjacent organs (with a balance with expected morbidity) to maximize the chances of negative margins to be considered on an individualized basis Technical Considerations in Surgery For Retroperitoneal Sarcomas.
