Does aggressive surgical excision followed by adjuvant postoperative irradiation improve survival and palliation in patients with retroperitoneal liposarcoma?
Aggressive surgical excision with adjuvant irradiation is recommended for retroperitoneal liposarcoma to achieve palliation and prolonged survival.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support aggressive excision plus radiation for palliation in retroperitoneal liposarcoma; leaves open confirmation in prospective trials.
A group of patients with retroperitoneal liposarcoma is presented and general guidelines of management reviewed. It is suggested that aggressive, radical total surgical excision followed by adjuvant postoperative irradiation be used as the treatment of choice. Although the management of recurrent disease may be discouraging in terms of ultimate cure, reasonable palliation and prolonged survival may result from aggressive therapy.
