  • Title: [Postoperative radiotherapy in the treatment of soft-tissue sarcomas of the limbs: 63 consecutive cases].
    Author: Marziano C, Grillo Ruggieri F, Bistolfi F.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1989 Dec; 80(12):1315-21. PubMed ID: 2622573.
    Abstract:
    Sixty-three patients with soft tissue sarcomas of the limbs received postoperative radiotherapy during the period from 1969 to 1985. The 5 years actuarial survival rate was 77% in 17 patients who underwent wide surgical operations + RT, 59% in 28 patients with marginal surgical excision + RT, 64% in 18 patients who received salvage RT after several recurrences. Locoregional control was higher in the patients with wide surgical operations + RT, while there were no significant differences in the disease free survival from lung metastasis among the three groups of patients.
