Perioperative strategy and outcome in giant retroperitoneal dedifferentiated liposarcoma-results of a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RPLS) are common soft tissue sarcomas of adulthood. The aim of this study is to show resectability of even giant liposarcomas and to identify factors associated with recurrence and survival in primary retroperitoneal liposarcomas.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients with retroperitoneal liposarcoma. Seventy-seven patients met inclusion criteria. Out of these 10 patients with primary giant, dedifferentiated retroperitoneal liposarcomas were operated with en bloc compartment resection with intention of radical resection. Treatment consisted of neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy and surgical resection or surgical resection.

Results

In 6 patients, neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy was performed; 3 patie
