Abstract
was 35.2% for those with positive margin compared with 10.3% for those with tumor completely resected (p Z 0.011), and this was true for men versus women (20.2% vs 0%; p < 0.032). Large tumor size was significantly associated with poor OS. The 5-year OS rate of 67.7% for cases whose tumor were 5cm or less was inferior to that of 94.7% for cases whose tumor were larger than 5cm (p Z 0.041). Conclusions: Postoperative IMRT provides excellent local control for patients with soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities and trunk. Positive margin is associated with higher LR rate.
