A comparison of the risk prediction models PERSARC and Sarculator in patients with localized soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities and trunk wall

A high degree of agreement between PERSARC and Sarculator predictions was observed. Patients classified as high-risk by only one method had similar outcomes to those who were high-risk using both. Chemotherapy was associated with improved outcome in the PERSARC, Sarculator, and combined high-risk group. Patients classified as high-risk by one of these methods could be considered for neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract

A high degree of agreement between PERSARC and Sarculator predictions was observed. Patients classified as high-risk by only one method had similar outcomes to those who were high-risk using both. Chemotherapy was associated with improved outcome in the PERSARC, Sarculator, and combined high-risk group. Patients classified as high-risk by one of these methods could be considered for neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy.
