Comparing epidemiological and clinical data from RPS patients documented in a German cancer registry to a cohort from TARPSWG reference centres.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) are rare, heterogeneous tumours. Treatment recommendations are mainly derived from cohorts treated at reference centres. The applicability of data from cancer registries (CR) is controversial. This work compares CR and TARPSWG (Transatlantic Australasian Retroperitoneal Sarcoma Working Group) data to assess the representativeness of the TARPSWG and the applicability of the CR data.

Methods

TARPSWG cohort has previously been described. The CR Baden-Württemberg cohort includes patients with primary RPS M0 (years 2016-2021, ICD-10 C.49.4/5, C48.x) who underwent surgery within 12 months. Only patients with sarcoma-typical histology codes as used for the German Cancer Society certification system were included. Patient, tumour and therapy fa
