Abstract

Cutaneous sarcomas comprise a broad group of rare, heterogeneous mesenchymal tumours. The present report describes a single centre experience regarding the management and the outcomes of patients with superficial soft tissue sarcomas (SSTS). Key prognostic factors in predicting overall survival (OS) and local relapse‑free survival were determined. Data from 66 patients with SSTS treated surgically within Edinburgh and Lothian were collected in the context of a service evaluation. Patient demographics, tumour specifics and treatment, as well as 5‑year OS and local recurrence, were analysed. Kaplan‑Meier analysis was applied for survival curves, and mortality rate estimation and Cox regression were used to establish independent predictors. The mean estimated OS time was 57.2 months, with a 95% CI between 55.0 and 59.5 months. The median OS time could not be estimated because there is no time point during which the survival function has a value <50%. The death risk for a person with SSTS was increased by 7.3% (odds ratio, 1.073; 95% CI, 1.012‑1.138) for every additional year of life. The estimated mean local relapse time was 58.5 months, with a 95% CI between 56 and 61 months. The median local relapse time could not be estimated since there is no time point during which the local recurrence function has a value <50%. In conclusion, out of all independent variables considered, none could statistically significantly explicate local relapse recurrence time. It is important that these rare tumours are treated in the context of a multidisciplinary team with consensus guidelines to assist decision‑making.
