Factors Influencing Prognosis After Initial Inadequate Excision (IIE) for Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Purpose. The influence of initial inadequate excision (IIE) of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) on local control and overall survival is not well established. It is generally believed that an IIE may have a negative impact on both, despite subsequent treatment by radical surgery and radiotherapy. However,...
