Myxofibrosarcoma: Outcomes, Prognostic Factors, and Role of Neoadjuvant Radiation Therapy

Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is a subtype of soft tissue sarcoma with a highly infiltrative growth pattern that leads to a higher risk of inadvertent positive surgical margins and local relapse. Poorly defined tumor margins also pose a challenge for radiation therapy (RT) planning, in terms of treatment volumes and administration of pre- versus postoperative RT. This study aims to evaluate local control and patterns of recurrence in patients with MFS treated with neoadjuvant RT followed by definitive surgical excision.
