BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to evaluate the risk of local recurrence and
survival after soft tissue sarcoma (STS) resection with positive margins and to evaluate the …

Background Patients with soft tissue sarcoma (STS) being treated following the standardized
guidelines can still not be guaranteed to remain free from local recurrence (LR). A complete …

Purpose: To compare the ability of margin classification systems to determine local
recurrence (LR) risk after soft tissue sarcoma (STS) resection. Methods: Two thousand two …

Abstract Background and Objectives To evaluate the significance of resection margin for soft
tissue sarcoma (STS), we determined local recurrence‐free interval (LRFI), distant …

Background: The impact of local recurrence and surgical resection margin status on survival
in extremity soft-tissue sarcomas remains to be clearly defined. Our aim was to conduct a …

Objectives What constitutes an adequate margin of resection for infiltrative subtypes of soft-
tissue sarcomas remains unclear. We aimed to determine the prognostic significance of the …

Simple Summary In soft tissue sarcomas the width of surgical margins after resection
determines the extent of surgery and the function after resection. But how far is really …

Objective To define the significance of positive microscopic resection margins in a large
cohort treated for soft tissue sarcoma. Methods The authors analyzed 2,084 patients with …

PURPOSE A positive microscopic margin (PMM) is a significant prognostic variable and
leads to local recurrence (LR) in high-grade soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients. Its effect on …

Abstract Background and Objectives. It is unclear whether the quantitative width of the
surgical margin influences outcomes in patients with extremity and truncal soft tissue …
