Impact of Postoperative Radiation on Survival for High-grade Soft Tissue Sarcoma of the Extremities After Limb Sparing Radical Resection

Abstract

Because of the retrospective nature of this study and inherent limitations of the SEER database, a large prospective study is needed to further elucidate the relationship between postoperative radiation and survival. However, these data do support the use of adjuvant radiation for patients with high-grade extremity STS measuring >5 cm.
