Prognostic factors for patients with localized soft‐tissue sarcoma treated with conservation surgery and radiation therapy

Prognostic factors for patients with soft-tissue sarcoma who are treated with conservative surgery and radiation are documented poorly.

The clinicopathologic features and disease outcome for 1225 patients with localized sarcoma who were treated with conservative surgery and radiation were reviewed retrospectively. Actuarial univariate and multivariate statistical methods were used to determine significant prognostic factors for local control, metastatic recurrence, and disease specific survival.
