title: [Late results of the combined treatment of locally disseminated soft tissue sarcomas].
abstract: Radical surgery was performed in 69 cases of primary and recurrent localized soft-tissue sarcomas (extended dissection of tumor--53, exarticulation or amputation--16) after a course of non-uniform irradiation, when other methods of specific treatment had failed. Areas of exposed tumors were irradiated with focal doses of 90-120 Gy, screened areas--with 40-60 Gy. Radiation was delivered through a latticed diaphragm from the same field. Postoperative complications due to intensive irradiation and radiation injury were comparable to those involved in standard radiation procedures. A 5-year survival rate was 50% (primary tumor--16 and relapse--77%).
