Local recurrence may not independently alter metastasis timing in high-grade STS; leaves open its added prognostic value beyond baseline factors.
Does the occurrence of local recurrence influence the timing of metastases in patients with metastatic Grade 4 soft tissue sarcoma?
Local recurrence may not independently influence the risk or timing of metastases in high-grade soft tissue sarcoma, suggesting primary prognostic factors are the main determinants.
