Simple Summary  Sarcomas are a rare disease with high rates of recurrence and poor prognosis. Important discoveries about the biology of sarcomas have been done during the last decades, without a substantial improvement of systemic treatments. With the agnostic effectivity of immuno-oncological agents in different cancer indications, it is expected that sarcomas can also benefit from these treatments. This article gathers the available data on the specific immune tumor microenvironment of sarcoma and the immunotherapeutic strategies currently under investigation.    Abstract  Despite significant advances in multidisciplinary treatment strategies including surgery, radiotherapy, targeted therapy and chemotherapy there are yet no substantial improvements in the clinical benefit of patients with sarcomas. Current understanding of the underlying cellular and molecular pathways which govern the dynamic interactions between the tumor stroma, tumor cells and immune infiltrates in sarcoma tissues, led to the clinical development of new therapeutic options based on immunotherapies. Moreover, progress of the treatment of sarcomas also depends on the identification of biomarkers with prognostic and predictive values for selecting patients most likely to benefit from these new therapeutic treatments and also serving as potent therapeutic targets. Novel combinations with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, vaccines, CAR-T cells and treatments targeting other immune components of the tumor microenvironment are underway aiming to bypass known resistance mechanisms. This review focuses on the role of tumor microenvironment in sarcoma, prognosis and response to novel immunotherapies.
