Abstract
The article presents data from the research of the use of ultralow temperatures in the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas at the Saint-Petersburg City Clinical Oncology Health Center and. Brief description of the methods of the treatment of the soft tissue sarcomas using Russian cryosurgical equipment is given. Immediate and long-term results of the ultralow temperature treatment of the soft tissue sarcoma surgery and possible recidives are analyzed. The quantity and quality of the treatment complications are analyzed. Mathematical modelling of cryo impact on biological tissues under avascularization conditions shows the increased efficiency of low temperatures impact by more than 20%.  The recommendations on the use of ultralow temperatures in oncosurgery of the soft tissue sarcomas are given.

Keywords: Russian cryosurgical equipment, cryosurgery, soft tissue sarcoma, oncosurgery, sarcoma treatment, angiography.
