Abstract

Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors that rarely involve the nervous system. Neurologic effects of sarcoma are more often due to tumors outside of the central nervous system. However, as long-term survival rates in childhood sarcoma improves, reports of late neurologic complications have increased. With recent advances in treating local sarcomas with targeted molecular therapies, the incidence of late neurologic complications, such as brain metastases, will probably continue to increase.
