Soft-tissue sarcomas of the chest wall: prognostic factors.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate factors that are predictive of outcome for patients with chest wall soft-tissue sarcomas. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review of 55 surgically treated patients, from March 1964 to October 1996. RESULTS The median age of the patients was 47.5 years (age range, 15 to 76.3 years), and 56.4% were men. The most common presenting symptom was chest wall mass in 29 pat...
متن کاملComprehensive and Integrated Genomic Characterization of Adult Soft Tissue Sarcomas
Sarcomas are a broad family of mesenchymal malignancies exhibiting remarkable histologic diversity. We describe the multi-platform molecular landscape of 206 adult soft tissue sarcomas representing 6 major types. Along with novel insights into the biology of individual sarcoma types, we report three overarching findings: (1) unlike most epithelial malignancies, these sarcomas (excepting synovia...
متن کاملTreatment of Adult Soft Tissue Sarcomas: An Overview
Sarcomas are uncommon malignancies accounting for about 1% of all adult malignancies. Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors which includes more than 100 different subtypes. Surgery is the mainstay therapy for localized disease. In selected patients the combination of surgery with radiotherapy achieves better local control and offers the best chance of cure.

متن کاملPrognostic value of CD40 in adult soft tissue sarcomas.
PURPOSE The purpose is to evaluate the expression of CD40, a membrane protein predominantly expressed on B cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages, in a series of adult soft tissue sarcomas and to test its possible prognostic value. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN CD40 expression was studied by immunohistochemistry. Correlations with other baseline characteristics of patients and tumors were analyzed wit...
متن کاملSoft Tissue Sarcomas
Soft tissue sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of malignant neoplasms of mesenchymal origin. They account for approximately 1% of all cancer diagnoses and 7% of pediatric malignancies (1,2). Just over half of these patients eventually succumb as a result of the disease. Soft tissue sarcomas typically present as asymptomatic large masses within the retroperitoneum or the proximal lower limbs but...
