Of 191 case reports submitted to the National Soft Tissue Sarcoma Registry, 131 qualified for inclusion. Fifty‐two percent were males; 80% were whites. Twenty‐one different histologies were assigned, with leiomyosarcoma most frequently represented. Localized disease was reported for 29% of patients. Surgery in combination with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy was reported as the treatment for 45% of patients, and surgery only was reported for 31%. These data reflect increasing use of adjuvant therapy in the treatment of soft‐tissue sarcoma.
