A unified expert consensus now clarifies the best practices for diagnosing and managing rare presacral tumors, essential for improving surgical outcomes.
- High-resolution MRI is critical for risk stratification.
- Image-guided biopsies are recommended for high-risk lesions that could change management.
Complete surgical resection is the primary goal, with approaches tailored to tumor characteristics, while minimally invasive techniques may be suitable in select cases.
- Non-operative surveillance is endorsed for specific low-risk cystic lesions.
