Outcome of surgery as part of palliative care by patients with symptomatic advanced or metastatic extra-abdominal high-grade soft tissue sarcoma

Abstract

Background: The modern multimodal treatment of malignant tumors has increased disease-specific survival and decreased the burden of tumor-associated complications. The main focus of palliative surgery is not based primarily on quantitative success parameters of tumor response, but is instead mainly on the question of quality of life. The current study was conducted to analyze the clinical and oncological outcomes of palliative patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
