  https://stanfordhealthcare.org/medical-conditions/cancer/soft-tissue-sarcoma/prevention.html

  Because most people who get soft tissue sarcoma do not have any risk factors, doctors have little advice on how you can prevent this very rare form of cancer. […] Remember, you can have all the risk factors and not get soft tissue sarcoma. Or you can have none of them and get this illness. Talk to your doctor if you are concerned about your risk. […] When possible, you should avoid these risk factors. […] Avoid exposure to radiation. (This may not be possible for people who need radiation to treat cancer.) […] Avoid exposure to certain chemicals, especially herbicides and dioxin. […] If you or anyone in your family has had neurofibromatosis, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, retinoblastoma, or soft tissue sarcoma, you may have a slightly elevated risk of this type of cancer. Ask your doctor if you should be tested for inherited genes that might increase your risk of soft tissue sarcoma. It is important to know that there are not a lot of genetic tests to accurately predict your risk for sarcomas.

  The primary treatment is surgical resection with radical orchiectomy and high ligation of the spermatic cord. Prophylactic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy is not necessary unless there is evidence of nodal involvement or for sarcomatous histologies with a propensity for nodal metastasis, such as rhabdomyosarcoma. […] Postoperatively, there are no well-established data on adjuvant therapy. […] In summary, this data from retrospective studies comprised of relatively few subjects demonstrated that local recurrence rates significantly decreased with adjuvant radiation therapy from 37%-30% down to 0. […] However, due to high risk of local failure, radiation therapy should be recommended for high-grade tumors, or close or positive margins. […] Adjuvant radiation should be recommended for higher grade tumors or close/positive margins to improve local control. Systemic chemotherapy may be beneficial to decrease the rate of distant metastasis and improve potential survival.

  Leiomyosarcoma is an aggressive, uncommon sarcoma effecting smooth muscle tissue. Prompt tissue diagnosis and staging workup are keys to preventing distant metastasis. […] Although diagnosis and treatment for rare cancers have already been difficult, it has become increasingly challenging due to the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. […] The purpose of this report is to discuss both diagnosis and management of leiomyosarcoma in the scalp to aid physicians navigating cancer care during the pandemic. […] Prompt diagnosis and treatment is crucial to improve overall survival from this challenging disease. […] Cure of leiomyosarcoma depends on early diagnosis and prompt management; if the sarcoma is diagnosed before locally advanced state or distant metastasis, complete tumor excision has potential to be curative.
