Connective tissue carcinoma Tumors of the connective tissue respectively soft tissue sarcomas: Soft tissue sarcomas can appear in all agegroups and should be treated, whenever possible, primarily (at a first therapy) by surgery. This is not always easy to do. The following patients have a high risk of a relapse of the disease and therefore need an additional treatment: - The tumor is bigger than 5 cm - The tumor has already extended to several groups of muscles - The tumor has already been treated by surgery, but not completely eliminated - The tumor has already relapsed (recurrence). In these high-risk cases, a pre-surgical chemotherapy is recommended together with regional hyperthermia (RHT-sarcoma). In case of distant metastases (metastasizing of tumor cells to other parts of the body), it is also possible to carry out a chemotherapy together with a whole-body hyperthermia (WBHT-sarcoma).
