This international consensus addresses the diagnosis and management of leiomyosarcoma. Management requires a multidisciplinary, site-specific approach informed by limited but evolving evidence. Key uncertainties persist, particularly regarding perioperative therapy, optimal sequencing and combination of systemic treatments, and integration of molecular data. Continued international collaboration and leiomyosarcoma-specific clinical trials are needed to refine treatment strategies and improve patient outcomes.
