About this episode

This episode continues the discussion on the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas, focusing on adjuvant therapies and the evolution of treatment options.

The treatment of soft tissue sarcomas is a highly specialised area. The first effective chemotherapy agent against sarcomas was only identified in the 1960s and benefits of adjuvant radiotherapy treatment began in the 1970s.
