[Results of repeat large-scale dissection of soft-tissue sarcoma following non-radical removal].
The reports deals with the data on repeat large-scale dissection of soft-tissue sarcoma following non-radical removal in 23 patients (13 males and 10 females , aged 14-75; mean age 42+/-30.2 yrs). Repeat surgery was carried out 3-6 weeks after primary one. Tumor progression was registered in 8 (34.8%): local recurrences which required radical intervention 4 (17.4%), distant metastases - 6 (26.1%) (lung - 3; liver - 1; lung and mediastinal lymph nodes - 1; lung and lumbar vertebra - 1). During the study, 5 patients died of tumor progression; all of them revealed distant metastases while 2 had local recurrences. Overall 5-year survival in 23 patients was 78%; whereas disease-free one - 65%.
