Abstract

The extent of histological organ involvement (HOI) to organs and structures of a retroperitoneal liposarcoma may have prognostic implications. This study investigated incidence, characteristics, and risk association of HOI in these patients. Data of patients who underwent multivisceral resection for primary liposarcoma (2009-2014) were retrospectively analyzed. HOI was the variable of interest and was classified into four degrees: absent (HOI-0), perivisceral (HOI-1), initial (HOI-2), and advanced (HOI-3). Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS). The prognostic value of HOI was adjusted for preoperative treatment and the Sarculator nomogram score. A total of 109 patients were included. HOI-0, HOI-1, HOI-2, and HOI-3 were detected in 9 (8.3%), 11 (10.1%), 43 (39.4%), and 46 (42.2%) patients. Median follow-up was 8.4 years [interquartile range (IQR) 7.2-9.6 years]. There were 68 recurrences and 50 patient deaths observed, resulting in a 10-year OS and DFS of 51.1% [95% confidence interval (CI) 41.9-62.1%] and 34.1% (95% CI 25.2-46.1%), respectively. Clinically relevant HOIs (HOI-2 and HOI-3) were found in 35/45 (77.8%) and 54/64 (84.4%) cases of well- and de-differentiated liposarcomas, respectively. On multivariable survival analysis, patients with HOI-3 had significantly shorter OS (HOI-3 vs HOI-0/HOI-1 HR 2.92; p = 0.012) and DFS (HOI-3 vs HOI-0/HOI-1 HR 2.23; p = 0.045), independently of the nomogram score (OS: HR 2.93; p < 0.001; DFS: HR 1.78; p = 0.003). Initial and advanced HOIs are frequently detected in both well-differentiated and de-differentiated liposarcomas, supporting that multivisceral resection may be needed. HOI stratifies the risk of patients with primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 27. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 July 2023.
All research outputs
#1,348,082
of 24,343,193 outputs
Outputs from Annals of Surgical Oncology
#179
of 6,867 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#29,108
of 431,850 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Annals of Surgical Oncology
#7
of 145 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,343,193 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,867 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 431,850 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 145 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
