Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the treatment methods for recurring retroperitoneal liposarcoma. Methods:Thirty eight cases of primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma were retrospectively analyzed with integrated follow-up from 1987 to 2010. Results: Twenty three cases had received two operations (60.5%),11cases had received more than two operations (28.9% ), 14cases had received resection combined with organs (36.8% ). The five-year survival rate was 47.4% and the ten-year survival rate was 28.9%.Conclusion:The tumor of retroperitoneal liposarcoma recurs easily. It is important to oper -ate on recurring tumors again to prolong survival time of the patients and to widen the margin including resection combined with organs for reducing rate of recurrence.
