Abstract
Soft tissue sarcomas are a rare and heterogeneous disease. For localized disease, treatment is based on surgery and radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy depending on risk factors. Upfront metastases are present in 7 to 20% of cases, and are localized to the lungs in most of cases. Disseminated disease is generally considered incurable but in selected cases, aggressive local treatment of metastases allowed long survival. Treatment of primary tumour is often debated. Our purpose is to evaluate the literature concerning the role of radiotherapy in the management of primary metastatic soft tissue sarcomas.

Abstract
Background We report a retrospective case series analysis of clinical outcomes of patients with soft tissue sarcoma around the elbow. Methods Twenty-two patients underwent surgical tumor excision between January 1999 and May 2017, with a mean follow-up of 85.2 months. Results Six tumors were localized in the upper arm, nine in the elbow, and seven in the forearm. Sixteen tumors were deep-seated, and six were superficially located. Fifteen patients underwent wide excision, including one amputation, and 18 achieved (81.8%) negative margins histologically. Two local recurrences and four distant metastases developed. The mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score was 92.0% (range, 33.3-100). The 5-year local recurrence-free survival rate, metastasis-free survival rate, and overall survival rate were 90.0%, 77.0%, and 79.7%, respectively. Conclusions Local control and limb function can have favorable outcomes when the tumor excised has a histologically negative margin without sacrificing the major structure.

Abstract
The number of elderly patients with sarcoma (65 years or older) has increased with the rise in the aging of society. As it is difficult to treat elderly sarcoma patients in the same manner as younger patients, the present study sought to compare treatment options currently available for elderly patients. The present study was comprised 34 Japanese patients (21 men and 13 women) with malignant bone or soft tissue tumors who underwent surgery in our department from September 2004 to March 2014. The median patient age was 72 years (range, 65-86 years). Histologically, 23 cases were categorized as high-grade and 11 as low-grade. Treatments included surgery with adequate margins (25 cases), surgery with inadequate margins and radiotherapy (4 cases), surgery with inadequate margins and chemotherapy (3 cases) and intralesional resection (2 cases). The postoperative follow-up period ranged from 7 to 112 months (average, 49 months). The 5-year survival rates were determined and compared using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test, respectively. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG-PS) and Anesthesiologists-Physical Status (ASA-PS) scores were also determined. The overall 5-year survival rate was 86.02%; it differed significantly between patients with high-grade (100%) vs. low-grade (74.3%) neoplasms P<0.001), but not between patients aged 65-69 (76.9%) vs. ≥70 (90.2%) years-old (P=0.65). Tumor status was classified as follows: i) Continuously disease-free, n=24 cases; ii) alive with disease, n=3 cases; iii) and dead of disease, n=7 cases. The ECOG-PS status scores were 0 in 9 cases, 1 in 21 cases, and 2 in 4 cases. ASA-PS scores were also I in 9 cases and II in 23 cases. Thus, the primary treatment for elderly patients with sarcoma should be surgery alone as no additional benefits were obtained when radiotherapy or chemotherapy was also performed. Adequate margins should be confirmed along with the histology of surgical specimens.

Abstract
The number of patients with primary malignant bone and soft tissue tumors in Japan is increasing in line with the increasing size of the elderly population. The aim of the present study was to determine the prognostic factors of primary malignant bone or soft tissue tumors in elderly patients. Clinical data was obtained from 90 patients, aged ≥65 years, with primary malignant bone or soft tissue tumors (bone, 20 cases; and soft tissue, 70 cases), treated at the Osaka City University Hospital between 1993 and 2013. Clinical information prior to treatment and tumor type, location, size, depth, grade and American Society of Anesthesiologists-Physical Status (ASA-PS) score were evaluated in order to identify prognostic factors using the Cox proportional hazards regression model. In addition, 5-year survival rates were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The average follow-up period was 44.8 months and the 5-year overall survival rate was 77.5%. In the multivariate analysis, ASA-PS score and high-grade sarcoma were found to be associated with a poorer overall survival. No significant differences were observed between the patient group aged 65-74 years and that aged ≥75 years. In general, aging is associated with physically reduced function and an increased prevalence of comorbidities. It was therefore expected that increasing age may be a predictive factor for poor prognosis. However, the results of the present study suggested that ASA-PS score and tumor grade were significant factors associated with poor prognosis, whereas increasing age was not. Therefore, the treatment of elderly patients with primary bone and soft tissue tumors should not be based on age.
