Key result
Local recurrence growth rate was an independent predictor of disease-specific survival, with rates <0.9 cm/mo associated with improved survival after aggressive resection.

Does local recurrence growth rate predict disease-specific survival and second local recurrence-free survival in patients with recurrent retroperitoneal liposarcoma?
Local recurrence growth rate is a strong independent predictor of disease-specific survival and local control in patients with completely resected locally recurrent retroperitoneal liposarcoma.
Park et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in recurrent retroperitoneal liposarcoma (n=105). Local recurrence growth rate was evaluated on disease-specific survival and second local recurrence-free survival. Local recurrence growth rate was an independent predictor of disease-specific survival, with rates <0.9 cm/mo associated with improved survival after aggressive resection.
