The Tygerberg Breast Clinic serves a heterogeneous population, and it is therefore possible to analyse prognostic factors influencing survival and to identify any possible differences between these groups. From 1978 to 1985, 568 breast cancer patients (52% white and 48% colored) were treated surgica

β¦ Synopsis
BACKGROUND. Chondrosarcoma (CS) most commonly involves the pelvis. Local and systemic failures often result in poor outcome. Prognostic factors that determine patient outcome remain ill-defined.
METHODS.
We retrospectively analyzed 67 patients with CS of the pelvis treated by definitive surgery from January 1970 to December 1992. All patients had localized disease including Grade 1 (19 patients), Grade 2 (18 patients), Grade 3 (17 patients), and dedifferentiated (13 patients) tumors. Thirty-two patients underwent a limb-sparing surgical resection and 35 patients underwent heniipelvectomy. Follow-up was available for all patients. The median duration of follow-up for the survivors was 115 months (range, 24-288 months).
