Abstract

Original

Using a large prospective cancer registry, the effects of surgical volume on patient outcomes for soft tissue sarcoma were examined. A significantly increased overall short-term and long-term survivals as well as improved limb preservation were observed at high-volume centers. This study suggests that soft tissue sarcoma should be treated at high-volume centers.
