Core Tip
Core Tip: In soft tissue sarcomas with bone invasion, resection of the tumor with wide margins including the relevant bone segment and endoprosthesis applications continue to be the recommended treatment method with satisfactory results. Preoperative evaluation and planning before surgery is crucial. In cases where there is a dilemma in surgical procedures, the decision of whether to perform bone resection affects the fate of the case. Bone and soft tissue reconstruction, especially after resection, should be planned meticulously to ensure adequate soft tissue coverage.
