| Radiation recall is an inflammatory skin reaction at previously irradiated fields subsequent to the administration of a variety of pharmacologic agents. Although skin has been the major site of radiation recall toxicity, instances involving other organs have been reported. |

| Pulmonary metastasectomy in soft tissue sarcoma (STS) can lead to long-term survival. The aim of our study was to report all prognostic factors and the value of repeat resection in recurrent disease. |

| This review discusses the data on chemotherapy for treatment of metastatic sarcomas and the utility of chemotherapy in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant settings. In addition, the utility of newer biologic agents in the treatment for sarcomas is considered. |

| Radiation therapy has curative or palliative potential in roughly half of all incident solid tumours, and offers organ and function preservation in most cases. Unfortunately, early and late toxicity limits the deliverable intensity of radiotherapy, and might affect the long-term health-related quality of life of the patient. |

| This systematic review evaluates the current available evidence for the systemic therapy of advanced, recurrent, or metastatic uterine sarcoma. |

| Abstract Endometrial stromal sarcomas are rare tumors that recur long after initial excision. We report a case of recurrent endometrial stromal sarcoma treated with the aromatase inhibitor letrozole and an overview of research completed to date. |

| The field of interventional oncology with use of image-guided tumor ablation requires standardization of terminology and reporting criteria to facilitate effective communication of ideas and appropriate comparison between treatments that use different technologies, such as chemical (ethanol or acetic acid) ablation, and thermal therapies, such as radiofrequency, laser, microwave, ultrasound, and cryoablation. |

| Gastrointestinal symptoms after pelvic radiotherapy, which affect quality of life, are substantially more common than generally recognised and are frequently poorly managed. These symptoms develop because radiation can induce change in one or more specific physiological functions in widely separated parts of the gastrointestinal tract that lie in the path of the radiotherapy beam. |
