Growth Rate and Outcomes in Locally Recurrent Extremity and Truncal Soft Tissue Sarcoma.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Improved prognostic tools are needed for patients with locally recurrent extremity or truncal soft tissue sarcoma (STS).

Objective

To examine the association between average local recurrence (LR) growth rate and outcomes following resection of locally recurrent extremity or truncal STS.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study used a prospectively maintained database from a single high-volume tertiary sarcoma referral center in the US to identify patients 16 years of age or older who underwent repeat resection of a locally recurrent extremity or truncal STS between July 1, 1982, and December 31, 2021. Patients with atypical lipomatous tumors, desmoid tumors, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, angiosarcomas, and prior or synchronous di
