✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) represent approximately 15% of all soft tissue sarcomas (STS). Clinical and prognostic features as well as oncologic outcomes are well known in this group of patients. Post‐operative margin status specifically, is a major predictor of local and distant recurrence and survival. The purpose of this review is to define complete resection as it applies to RPS and evaluate its effect on future outcomes in these patients. J. Surg. Oncol. 2008;98:607–610. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Background. Obtaining adequate surgical margins, free of tumor, is crucial for success in oncologic surgery. The head and neck surgeon often finds that the tumor-free margin reported from histopathologic measurement is significantly smaller than the margin measured in-situ. It was the purpose of thi
