Why the study?
Does intensive treatment improve long-term survival in selected patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma?
Does intensive treatment improve long-term survival in selected patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma?
Intensive treatment in selected patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma may lead to very long-term survival.
May support intensive therapy in highly selected metastatic STS; leaves open prospective confirmation beyond selection bias.
Very long-term survivors are observed in metastatic STS. Selection of patients in good condition with less aggressive tumor and administration of intensive treatment may lead to obtain these motivating results in a poor prognosis disease.
