What follow-up care should be considered for patients diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma after referral to a specialist?

The provided UK guideline excerpts do not contain specific information regarding follow-up care for patients diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma after referral to a specialist.

The available guidelines focus on follow-up care for other conditions, such as brain tumours and melanoma ¹,². For instance, follow-up for brain tumours involves surveillance for late-onset side effects of treatment, including cataracts, cognitive decline, epilepsy, and secondary tumours, with assessments for individual risk and lifestyle advice ¹. For melanoma, follow-up is personalised based on risk factors and disease stage, involving clinic appointments, imaging (such as whole-body and brain MRI or CE-CT), and psychosocial support ².
