- W2000582568 abstract "Twenty-five consecutive patients with soft tissue sarcoma of the forearm and hand were assessed for limb-salvage surgery and were entered into a prospective study evaluating oncologic details and functional outcome. Seventeen patients had received incomplete primary excision elsewhere and presented with local recurrence or residual disease. Three had pulmonary metastases at the time of presentation. Twenty-three patients were candidates for limb-salvage surgery and 20 received adjuvant radiotherapy. The mean follow-up period was 37 months. There was local recurrence in three patients who had initially received marginal excision of the primary sarcoma, and three patients died of systemic disease. Limb function was assessed prospectively using both patient-based and clinician-based functional scoring systems and revealed good to excellent results in all but three patients. Eighty-eight percent of those who survived and did not require amputation were able to return to occupational and activities of daily living with no or minimal functional limitation. This study demonstrates that limb-salvage surgery, with adjuvant radiotherapy when necessary, is an effective alternative to amputation in the majority of patients with sarcoma of the forearm and hand. Radiation toxicity is rarely a problem.
