[Treatment of patients with soft tissue neoplasms].
The methods of treatment of 1,410 cases of soft tissue sarcoma were compared. Tumor was less than 5 cm only in 19.4% of patients admitted to the hospital by the beginning of treatment. Radical surgery was performed in 65.3% of cases, it still remaining the major procedure of treatment. Application of combined (surgery + radiation) treatment is increasingly used, every fourth patient (25.1%) being given this therapy. The percentage of radically-treated cases of soft tissue sarcoma may be raised by 15% unless patients refuse to be operated on.
