R0 surgical resection is the preferred treatment for bone and soft tissue sarcoma. However, there is still a lack of precise technology that can visualize bone and soft tissue sarcoma during surgery to assist the surgeon in judging the tumor surgical boundary. Fluorescence imaging technology has been used in the diagnosis of cancer. It is a simple and essentially safe technique that takes no additional time during the operation. Intraoperative fluorescence imaging has potential application prospects in assisting the surgeons in judging the tumor boundary and improving the accuracy of surgical resection. This review mainly starts with clinical studies, animal experimentation, and newly designed probes of intraoperative fluorescence imaging of bone and soft tissue sarcoma, to appraise the application prospects of fluorescence imaging technology in bone and soft tissue sarcoma.
