Abstract | BACKGROUND: PATIENTS AND METHODS: RESULTS: Median follow-up was 33 months (range, 1-121). There were 6 local recurrences and 6 deaths for disease progression. Five-year disease-free survival and overall survival were 53% (95% CI, 20-86%) and 49% (95% CI, 14-84%), respectively. No factor significantly affected survival. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor was positive in 50% of cases and was more frequent in better differentiated cancer. CONCLUSIONS:
