title: [Gastrointestinal sarcomas].
abstract: In 45 primary sarcomas of the gastrointestinal tract the authors attempt to derive criteria for prognosis from histology and localization of the tumors and from clinical parameters. Their observations lead to the conclusion that 1) proximal sarcomas of the gastrointestinal tract have a better prognosis than distal sarcomas, 2) lymphocytic malignant lymphomas has a better prognosis than other histologic types, and 3) there is a correlation between blood sedimentation rate and prognosis.
