Does Unplanned Soft Tissue Sarcoma Surgery Have a Negative Effect on Prognosis?

CONCLUSION: Patients undergoing re-excision after an inappropriate resection and undergoing planned resection had a similar prognosis. Superficial, upper extremity-localized, and relatively small-size tumors are more prone to inadequate surgical resection. MRI can be used to detect residual tumors at a high rate in patients who have undergone unplanned surgery. Distant organ metastasis is the most important factor affecting survival.
