Younger age, biphasic histology, and extremity sites predict better survival in synovial sarcoma, though late distant relapses remain a risk.
Arnold C. Paulino (2004) conducted a cohort in synovial sarcoma (n=44). Prognostic factors (younger age, biphasic histology, extremity sites) was evaluated on overall survival. Younger age (p=0.028), biphasic histology (p=0.014), and extremity sites treated with limb-sparing surgery (p=0.001) were significant predictors of better overall survival in synovial sarcoma.
