In most cases, soft tissue sarcomas in children are quite different from soft tissue sarcomas in adults and require a different approach to staging and treatment. Dr. Lawrence, Professor of Surgery and Director Emeritus of the Massey Cancer Center at the Medical College of Virginia, provides his insight into the differences and similarities in the clinical management of pediatric soft tissue sarcomas and soft tissue sarcomas in adults.
