Predictors of Abbott et al for Sarcoma-Specific Survival in a Patient with a Primary Retroperitoneal Sarcoma

 

Patient selection: nonmetastatic primary retroperitoneal sarcoma following resection

 

Outcome: 10-year survival

 

Predictors of worse sarcoma-specific survival at the time of diagnosis (using hazard ratio > 1.4 and p < 0.05):

(1) male gender

(2) age>= 65 years

(3) histology other than liposarcoma

(4) histology high grade

 

If the person survives 5 years then the only predictor of not surviving to 10 years that was statistically significant was histology high grade. Tumor size >= 5 cm had a hazard ratio of 4.2 but p > 0.05.
