Though rare, osteosarcomas and soft tissue sarcomas do occur in the geriatric population. When possible, surgical excision is the treatment of choice, with radiation therapy and chemotherapy having largely an adjuvant role. Classic Kaposi's sarcoma is a chronically progressive and ultimately fatal disease of the elderly which can be managed effectively with both radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
