Pan-Soft Tissue Sarcoma Analysis of the Incidence, Survival, and Metastasis: A Population-Based Study Focusing on Distant Metastasis and Lymph Node Metastasis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The rarity and complexity of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) make it a challenge to determine the incidence, survival, and metastasis rates. In addition, the clinicopathological risk factors for lymph node metastasis have rarely been reported.

Methods

Data on patients diagnosed with STS in the SEER database from 2000 to 2018 were extracted by SEER*Stat 8.3.9.1, and the incidence trend was calculated by Joinpoint 4.9 software. The KM method was used to calculate the survival curve, and the log-rank method was used to compare differences in the survival curves. The clinicopathological risk factors for lymph node metastasis were screened by logistic regression.

Results

Among the 35987 patients, 4299 patients (11.9%) had distant metastasis. The overall lymph node met
