Abstract
Myxofibrosarcoma presents an infiltrating growth pattern that results in a high tendency for local recurrence. Clear margin resection is challenging because of microscopic infiltration. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the overall and disease-free survival rates of patients with myxofibrosarcoma and the prognostic factors that determine both survival and disease recurrence. Among the 111 patients included in our study, the 5-year overall survival rate was 65.5%. An age of more than 65 years (hazard ratio [HR] 1.9 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.4-5.6]; p < 0.001), a tumor size of more than 5 cm (HR 2.8 [95% CI 0.9-8.1]; p = 0.049) and the G3 tumor grade (HR 14.1 [95% CI 2.1-105.0]; p < 0.001) negatively affected overall survival. The 5-year recurrence-free survival rate was 49.4%. R1/R2-type resection (HR 2.4 [95% CI 1.0-5.6]; p = 0.048) had a detrimental effect on tumor recurrence. Clear margins had a positive impact on recurrence-free survival, but did not significantly affect overall patient survival, suggesting that other factors may play a more significant role in determining patient outcomes. A surgical margin of 2 mm was not sufficient to significantly influence the incidence of recurrence. Consequently, a wider surgical margin may be necessary to reduce the risk of myxofibrosarcoma recurrence.
