The incidence of sarcoma diagnosed in the elderly population may be rising due to the increasing life expectancy. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of lung metastasectomy and radiofrequency (RF) ablation in elderly sarcoma patients (65 years or older) with lung metastases, compared with adult sarcoma patients younger than 65 years (20-64 years).
