Refining Risk Stratification and Surveillance Strategies in Pleuropulmonary Solitary Fibrous Tumors—An International, Retrospective, Multicenter Analysis
The WHO risk stratification system demonstrated the highest discriminatory power for recurrence-free survival in the Kaplan-Meier analyses, indicating that the WHO classification remains the most accurate predictor to date. We modified the commonly used risk systems to achieve improved stratification into low-, intermediate- and high-risk groups. The occurrence of late recurrences underscores the need for long-term follow-up.
