Core Tip	Histopathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a significant prognostic factor and could guild the following treatment for patients with sarcoma. Novel molecular imaging such as 18-fluorodeoxy-D-glucose-positron emission tomography (PET) could offer non-invasive and accurate assessment of such response in sarcoma based on our relatively large-sample statistical analysis for this relatively rare tumor. More information that clinical physicians concerned with was generated, such as recommended subgroup of patients, potential candidates for quantitative criteria of response and possible causes of false positives of PET.
