TL;DR: Urological soft tissue sarcomas are rarely seen tumours in adults and the most important factors in survival are surgical resection, stage of the tumour at onset, grade and location of the metastatic stage, gender and age of the patients.

Abstract: Objective: To analyze clinicopathological characteristics, prognostic factors and survival rates of the patients with urological soft tissue sarcomas treated and followed up in Turkey. Materials and Methods: For overall survival analyses the Kaplan-Meier method was used. From medical records, nine prognostic factors on overall survival were analysed. Results: For the 53 patients (34 males, 19 females) whose charts were reviewed, the median age was 53 (range 22 to 83) years. Most frequently renal location (n=30; 56.6%) was evident and leiomyosarcoma (n=20, 37.7%) was the most frequently encountered histological type. Median survival time of all patients was 40.3 (95% CI, 14.2-66.3) months. In univariate analysis, male gender, advanced age (≥50 years), metastatic stage, unresectability, grade 3, renal location were determined as worse prognostic factors. In multivariate analysis, metastatic stage, unresectability and grade 3 were determined as indicators of worse prognosis. Conclusions: Urological soft tissue sarcomas are rarely seen tumours in adults. The most important factors in survival are surgical resection, stage of the tumour at onset, grade and location of the tumour, gender and age of the patients. Keywords:

TL;DR: Grade, tumor depth, and tumor size could be used to select patients with a high metastatic risk, for which adjuvant chemotherapy could be beneficial, and was beneficial in terms of overall survival and metastasis-free survival in grade 3 tumor patients only.

TL;DR: Positive microscopic resection margins significantly decrease the local recurrence-free survival rate for other-than-primary fibrosarcoma and retroperitoneal sarcomas, and independently predict distant recurrence free survival rates and disease-specific survival rates for all patient subsets.

TL;DR: Predictors of disease specific survival include local disease at presentation, complete tumor resection and tumor grade, size, location and histological subtype; and patient sex, age and surgical margin status.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that aggressive surgical strategies, including reoperative wide resection, significantly decrease local recurrence and may improve disease free-survival in select patients with spermatic cord sarcoma.
