The XXIX Annual Meeting of the Italian Sarcoma Group kicks off in Palermo 🇮🇹
250 attendees gathered to share science, collaboration, and new ideas in #sarcoma care. Looking forward to inspiring discussions over the next days! @ItaSarcomaGroup@SilviaStacchia@annamariafrezza
1/ 🚨 When surgery is not enough: time to rethink patient selection in #retroperitoneal#sarcoma. Are we operating on tumor biology we don’t yet understand?
In primary RPS, ~20% of patients recur within 6 months after surgery — with survival comparable to unresected patients.
@XavierBerardMD Great job! We started to use aortic criopreserved homograft over PTFE in the last years to reconstruct IVC. You leave the patient on anticoagulants life-long with venous PTFE graft?
Today is national #Leiomyosarcomaday and we stand with those who fight this rare disease. For more information on leiomyosarcoma, check out UCLA's research updates and education material here: https://t.co/x0RQelXMOp
In Lyon for the WHO meeting to update the classification of soft tissue & bone sarcomas.
A crucial step for diagnostics, research, and care in these rare tumors.
Proud to contribute to this global effort.

More than 140 experts from around the world came together last week to work toward improving the standard of care for chordoma via upcoming updated consensus guidelines -- a remarkable effort. Grateful to @alegronchi, @AOSpine & all who participated!
🔎 Demicco Score in Solitary Fibrous Tumors (SFT):
A practical, pathology-based tool to assess metastatic risk in primary SFTs.
3-variable (2012): Size, Mitoses, Age
4-variable (2017): + Necrosis
🧠 Do you use it in your practice? #Sarcoma#SFT#OncoPath
‼️ Welcome to our 2nd Journal Club post
🏥🔪Today: Surgical technique for right-sided RPS
⁉️What does it take to achieve complete en bloc resection? Every step tests skill & precision.

🔵 New month, new topic!
In this case we walk through the management of a Left RPS, from preop to multivisceral resection.
Why does it matter? Because in sarcomas, the first treatment makes the difference.
👇Have you ever faced such a case? Share your thoughts below!

New from SICO Sarcoma Social & @TARPSWG:
@FioreDoc on margins,
@Dirk_Strauss on the left-sided approach,
@GladdyLab on histology-driven resection.
🧐Real surgeons, real strategy.
