Abstract
Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPSs) are a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal tumors. The mainstay of treatment of RPS is curative surgical resection, which often involves a multivisceral resection. The predominant pattern of failure in RPS is local recurrence, which poses significant management challenges and limits survival. There is a paucity of high-level evidence to guide the management of primary and recurrent RPS, mainly due to the rarity of the disease. This review highlights the challenges and decision making in the diagnosis and management of recurrent RPS. This review contains 6 figures, 5 tables and 50 references Key words: chemotherapy, distant recurrence, leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, local recurrence, radiation therapy, retroperitoneal sarcoma, surgical resection
