Abstract |
After treatment of primary soft tissue sarcoma, a third of patients will develop local or distant (lung in 90% of cases) recurrence. For an individual patient, the issue of cancer recurrence is a binary event. However, when developing surveillance strategies for large groups of patients, knowledge of the risks ( tumor biology, natural history of the disease), the benefits (potential efficacy of salvage therapy) and diagnosis test performances is necessary to formulate a rationale and resource effective follow-up algorithm.
