Post-authorisation, multicentric, observational, retrospective and prospective study to assess quality of care of sarcoma patients in expert and non-expert centers by analysing correlation of quality items and outcomes such as relapse free survival, overall survival, percentage of amputation, etc.
Expert pathology peer review will be performed to detect differences between expert and non-expert centers as well as differences in treatment and patient prognosis.
Tumor samples of 4 types of sarcoma would also be included in translational research to detect biomarkers and produce preclinical models.

- Other: Quality assessment
There is no intervention on study subjects. A tumor review will be performed by expert centers.
- Percentage of cases with > 5 cm with tru-cut biopsies. [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years ]tumor should be bigger than 5cm
- Percentage of biopsies carried out by sarcoma teams vs not sarcoma team [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years ]in all the series and in cases with > 5 cm
- Percentage of patients with image studies at diagnosis and before surgery. [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years ]The same type of image should have been performed
- Percentage of patients discussed in Multidisciplinary Team before treatment [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years ]multidisciplinary team includes serval departments at the same center
- Percentage of patients with specified histopathological grade in pathologic report. [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years ]Using FNCLCC grade criteria
- Percentage of affected surgical margins in first surgery [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years ]Using Enneking classification for determinations of surgical margins
- Percentage of re-resections in patients with affected surgical margins in first surgery [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years ]Using Enneking classification for determinations of surgical margins
- percentage of patients with >5 cm and G2-3 sarcoma receiving neo/adjuvant radiotherapy [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years ]Using FNCLCC grade criteria
- Percentage of patients with localized GIST with adequate risk assessment [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years ]Classifying risk with mitotic count (50HPF), site and size of primary tumor
- Percentage of patients with advanced GIST with available molecular status of KIT/PDGFR before initiating systemic therapy for advanced disease [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years ]Detection of KIT/PDGFR y Sanger and or NGS
- Surgical margins [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years ]using Enneking
- Relapse-free survival [ Time Frame: tthrough study completion, an average of 3 years ]days of survival from date of first line treatment until progression or death
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years ]Days from diagnosis (date of biopsy or first pathology report) until death whatever cause.
- Percentage of amputation [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 3 years ]Resection of any member.
