“…The data regarding the prognostic implication of undergoing a re-resection are somewhat conflicting, in particular with regard to local control. 2,5,12,14 Lewis et al 12 found that patients who undergo a re-resection have improved disease-specific and metastasesfree survival compared with those patients who are treated with a single definitive surgery. Re-resection, however, did not significantly decrease the rate of LR in that study.…”

“…13,[19][20][21] Khanfir et al 5 studied the role of adjuvant RT in 133 patients treated with wide excision and a negative microscopic margin. They showed that adjuvant RT improved local control exclusively in patients with a minimal resection (margin <1 cm).…”

“…The addition of radiation to the wide resection of sarcomas improves local recurrence rates from 19% to 30% in certain studies, even in patients with microscopically positive margins [3,12,16,27,30,52,53,60,62]. Because patients with Stage III tumors receive adjuvant therapies, in addition to wide resection, to treat microscopically positive margins and/or satellite lesions, it is believed this would also treat any potential tumor cells in the core needle tract.…”

“…3 Several nonrandomized series have reported LR rates\15 % for LSS alone without RT, but others have shown unacceptably high rates of LR with this approach. [4][5][6][7][8] Given the conflicting results for surgery alone from nonrandomized reports, and the clear local control advantage with RT demonstrated by randomized trials, the standard of care for most high-grade ESTS is LSS plus RT.…”
