| dc.description.abstract | Soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities were previously treated either with wide excision alone, leading to a 30 to 50% local recurrence rate, or amputation, which although lead to a recurrence rate of less than 5%, caused significant physical and psychological morbidity. In addition to the :risk of local recurrence, distant metaatases occur in 30 to 50% of high grade lesions.(Abbreviation abstract) | en_ZA |
