Histologic Features of Canter et al for Predicting Survival in a Patient with a Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Description

Canter et al correlated histologic features of a soft tissue sarcoma and the likelihood of 5-year mortality. These can help to identify a patient who may benefit from a more aggressive management. The authors are from the University of California at Davis and the American Cancer Society.

Patient selection: soft tissue sarcoma

Outcome: 5 year mortality due to the effects of the sarcoma

Parameter:

(1) histologic grade (low, intermediate or high)

(2) prognosis associated with the tumor type (favorable, intermediate, unfavorable)

Histologic Grade	Prognosis Associated with Tumor	5-Year Risk of Death Due to the Tumor
low grade	favorable	4%
low grade	intermediate	9%
low grade	unfavorable	15%
intermediate grade	favorable	6%
intermediate grade	intermediate	33%
intermediate grade	unfavorable	45%
high grade	favorable	24%
high grade	intermediate	38%
high grade	unfavorable	59%
