A need for clarity on Surgical Management of Breast Sarcoma: Scottish Sarcoma Network Guidelines and Regional Audit

Currently there are no comprehensive breast sarcoma guidelines in the UK. There is therefore a need for guidelines to clarify surgical management, which we have based on data from our regional audit, current evidence, and consensus between West of Scotland Breast Cancer and Scottish Sarcoma Managed Clinical Networks.Methods and Results:46 patients were treated with breast sarcoma in the West of Scotland from 2007 to 2019.Sarcoma Centre versus Peripheral Hospitals: Incomplete excision rate was 0% at sarcoma centre, and 50% at peripheral hospitals (p=0.0002, Odds Ratio 43).
