[Hemipelvectomy for pelvic sarcomas].

CONCLUSIONS: Pelvic tumor resection with clear margins is the most important known positive predictive local factor affecting overall outcomes, in addition to uncontrollable factors such as grading and tumor size. Defect reconstruction depends on multiple factors such as patient age and adjuvant therapy. The stage of the disease has the greatest impact on overall survival rates and should be considered when contemplating pelvic tumor resections in sarcoma patients.
