Management and outcomes of thoracic sarcomas - a collaboration between Orthopaedic Oncology and cardiothoracic surgery: seven-year clinical data from a tertiary referral centre

Our results indicate that primary resection remains the cornerstone of thoracic sarcoma treatment, representing the single strongest independent factor for survival in treatable cases. Variability in outcomes and overall survival likely stems from factors such as histological diversity, predominance of high-grade sarcomas, and wide age range at diagnosis. Ongoing prospective database update and collaborative efforts across centres would further clarify prognoses and recommendations for specific tumours, based on observational data.
