Prognostic factors in liposarcoma.
In a series of 99 liposarcomas, the prognostic impact of the various diagnostic and therapeutic factors was analyzed. The analysis indicated that the tumor size, histologic subtype, and x-ray density are important prognostic factors. The prognosis is also influenced by operability and treatment modalities employed. Treatment strategy should be radical, irrespective of the actual prognostic factors.
