Abstract
Soft tissue tumour specimens should therefore be reported by specialist pathologists, within a multidisciplinary team. Furthermore, outcomes are better in specialized centres with dedicated multidisciplinary teams bringing together expertise in imaging, histopathology, surgery and oncology. This should include access to cytogenetic and molecular genetic diagnostic services. Ideally, patients with soft tissue masses suspected to be malignant should be referred to a specialist unit before biopsy.
