Key result
Systematic postoperative imaging review differentiates sarcoma recurrence from posttreatment changes.
Why the study?
Postoperative imaging interpretation of sarcoma is complex and requires a systematic approach to differentiate recurrence from posttreatment changes.
Postoperative imaging interpretation of sarcoma requires a systematic approach including review of clinical history and pretreatment images to differentiate recurrence from posttreatment changes.
May support systematic sarcoma surveillance incorporating clinical context; leaves open prospective validation of standardized protocols.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to assist radiologists in developing an organized, systematic approach to imaging interpretation in the care of patients who have been surgically treated for sarcoma. CONCLUSION: Postoperative imaging interpretation of sarcoma can be complex and requires an organized, systematic approach that includes review of the patient's clinical and surgical history and pretreatment images to gain context for differentiating recurrence from time-dependent posttreatment changes.
