Quality and efficient care of sarcomas is compromised by their rarity. One-third of all sarcomas are incompletely excised in an unplanned excision and then referred to a sarcoma center for further care. This situation incurs additional surgery for the patient, a higher risk of local recurrence, and carries a significant financial burden. This also puts the surgeon at medicolegal risk for delay in diagnosis and preventable loss of function.
