Key result
Prognostic variables including tumor size, grade, histology, depth, and patient age can be used in a nomogram to predict 12-year sarcoma-specific survival in patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
Why the study?
What are the prognostic variables detailing the recurrence rate and survival in patients with soft tissue sarcomas?
What are the prognostic variables detailing the recurrence rate and survival in patients with soft tissue sarcomas?
Prognostic variables and nomograms are important tools for predicting recurrence and survival in patients with soft tissue sarcomas, aiding in patient counseling and treatment selection.

May refine sarcoma prognosis discussions; leaves open prospective validation before routine clinical use.
Grobmyer et al. (2003) conducted a review in Soft tissue sarcoma. Prognostic variables (tumor size, grade, histology, depth, age) was evaluated on Local recurrence, distant recurrence, disease-specific and overall survival. Prognostic variables including tumor size, grade, histology, depth, and patient age can be used in a nomogram to predict 12-year sarcoma-specific survival in patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
