A Fifty-year Review of Soft Tissue Sarcomas in Jamaica: 1958–2007

Issue: 
DOI: 
Doi:10.7727/wimj.2011.168
Pages: 
692–7

A high proportion of soft tissue sarcomas in Jamaica are unclassified and the anatomical distribution of common classified sarcomas shows some differences with the literature. Limited access to immunohistochemistry/ molecular diagnostics and increasing core biopsy diagnosis may contribute to these phenomena.
