Prognostication • a duty for the clinician • for taking decision on • Complementary treatments • Post-operative surveillance • for informing the patient
5641 pts, collected from 1982 to 2009 Institutional STS DB
INT 1985 - 2007 • Localized STS 3085 • Extremity 2043 • Retroperitoneum 396 • Trunk wall 273 • Head & Neck 76 • Visceral 112 • Other 185
We excluded… Local recurrence at presentation Pediatric histologies (pPNET…)
Parameters investigated • Age • Size • Histotype • Liposarcoma • Leiomiosarcoma • MPNST • SFT • Other • Grade • Completeness of surgical resection (Y/N) Gronchi et al Cancer 2004; 100: 2448-2455 Gronchi et al J Clin Oncol 2009; 27(1): 24-30
Statistical methods • End point was OS at 5 and 10 yrs. • Piecewise Regression Model (instead of the usual Cox Model). • Age and size were modelled as continuous variables. • Model performance evaluated through discriminating ability and calibration assessments.
198 patients • Gender • Male 99 • Female 93 • Median age 55 (17-80) • Median size 16 (4-75) • Completeness of resection (y/n) 178/14 GIII GI GII
Log-Relative hazard of death for all causes according to tumour size from thepiecewise regression model.
Model performance Predictive performance: adjusted C Index=0.73 (satisfactory accuracy) Calibration plots: predicted and observed survival probabilities in good agreement.

Different nomograms for RSTS are available • They seem to be quite consistent in the prediction of liposarcoma’s outcome (the commonest histology). • Wy tried to improve the available nomograms by: • using size as a continuous variable (and age…) • introducing the histological subtype more frequently found at this site • complementing histological subtype by histological grade of aggressiveness (a 3-tier grade according to FNCLCC)
