Evaluation of AJCC staging system and proposal of a novel stage grouping system in retroperitoneal liposarcoma: the Fudan Zhongshan experience

ConclusionCompared with 8th AJCC TNM, 7th AJCC TNM staging system showed a more homogeneous staging distribution and a slight improvement in the prognostic accuracy of RPLS. The revised T-stage and nTNM systems showed better risk stratification performance. The FNCLCC stage was found to have high prognostic value, further emphasising histological grade is the least negligible prognostic factor in predicting patient survival. The constructed nomogram model enables individualized prognostic analysis and helps to develop risk-adapted therapy for RPLS patients.
