Treatment approaches and outcomes of major chest wall resections and reconstructions in patients with soft tissue and bone sarcomas: a retrospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chest wall sarcomas are rare and pose significant technical challenges in surgical management, particularly in patients with advanced disease. In this study, we examined the extent of resection, reconstruction techniques, and oncological outcomes of patients with chest wall soft tissue and bone sarcomas.

Methods

This retrospective single-center series included patients who underwent surgery at our center between May 2014 and February 2022 for deep-seated/subfascial primary and recurrent soft tissue or bone sarcomas of the chest wall requiring significant resection and extensive reconstruction. We analyzed clinical and operative data, including extent of resection, reconstruction techniques, and oncological outcomes. Additionally, we compared survival outcomes betw
