Abstract

Treatment of soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) is complicated by disease heterogeneity. Further, it has not benefitted much from the recent therapeutic advances in other soft tissue malignancies. Surgical resection remains the gold standard in resectable disease, but unresectable, locally advanced STS requires alternative and multimodal approaches. Isolated limb infusion (ILI) provides regional chemotherapy to extremity STS and offers the potential for limb salvage. Despite being in use for nearly 3 decades, there is limited literature on ILI in STS. This review provides an overview of patient eligibility, the procedure, significant publications in this field, and opportunities for further progress.
