Resumen
- Sarcomas are an infrequent and heterogeneous group of neoplasia. Surgery with or without associated radiotherapy (RT) is the basic treatment for this type of tumour. To increase the therapeutic ratio (the index between cytotoxic effects in tumours and normal tissue complications with a certain dose of radiation), new advances are being investigated to increase local and distant control and to decrease the morbidity of the treatment. The aim of this review was to analyse the different strategies, based on technology and biology, which are being investigated to increase the therapeutic ratio of this disease
