The prognostic factors associated with local failure and overall survival and the effect of radiotherapy were determined in 77 @entity1 with localized (extremity and nonextremity) operable soft-tissue @entity242 . There were 52 male and 25 female @entity1 ; median age was 50 years (range: 15-83). Histologic grade of the @entity5 was as follows: low-intermediate grade in 32 cases and high grade in 29 cases. The @entity5 were treated by marginal resection (20 @entity1 ), wide resection (52 @entity1 ), and radical resection (5 @entity1 ). Adjuvant radiotherapy was applied to 50 (65%) @entity1 . The 5-year local recurrence-free survival rate was 70.6%. Treatment with adjuvant radiotherapy and development of @entity3 were the significant prognostic factors associated with local recurrence. Radiotherapy was more effective in @entity1 with @entity5 10 cm or larger, marginally resected, extremity located, and high grades. The overall survival rate was 64.4% at 5 years. Significant adverse prognostic factors were high grade @entity5 , presence of local recurrence, and development of @entity3 in univariate analyses. Development of @entity3 and old age were the only adverse prognostic factors by multivariate analysis. The best 5-year survival rate was obtained in female @entity1 younger than 50 years (90%). The present study demonstrated the importance of adjuvant radiotherapy and development of @entity3 as prognostic factors for local control. Again, development of @entity3 and age were the most important prognostic factors in operable soft-tissue @entity242 .
