Treatment for patients with locally recurrent soft tissue sarcomas after wide resection is challenging, and few studies have examined the results of treating these patients. In treatment of recurrent tumors, it has been reported that positive margins are correlated to local rerecurrence, but the relationship between surgical margin and survival remains controversial and risk factors for local recurrences after wide resection of soft tissue sarcomas are not well established. This study examined clinical outcomes and factors associated with survival and local rerecurrence in patients with local recurrence after initial surgical treatment who underwent another resection with a goal of negative margins.
