Supports size- and mitotic rate-based risk stratification in synovial sarcoma; leaves open prospective validation before guiding therapy.
What are the prognostic factors for local recurrence and metastatic disease in patients with primary synovial sarcoma treated by surgery?
Tumor size smaller than 4 cm and a mitotic rate lower than 15 per 10 high-power fields are associated with a favorable prognosis in patients with primary synovial sarcoma.
