Abstract
PURPOSE: The use of adjuvant radiation in the treatment of soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) is equivocal in selected cases. Our objective was to compare the short-term outcomes in patients operated on for a local recurrence who had radiation for the primary tumour to those who were spared radiation. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of 103 patients treated for a local recurrence: 48 (47%) with previous radiation and 55 (53%) without. Our primary outcome criterion was to identify the differences in the local treatment provided. Secondary outcomes were the cumulative incidence of a surgical site infection/wound complication (SSI/WC), variables associated with SSI/WC, and local recurrence. RESULTS: Amputation and the incidence of re-operation were significantly more frequent in patients who received previous radiation compared to patients without previous radiation (27% vs 9%, p = 0.02, for amputation; 26% vs 36% at 2 years for SSI/WC, p = 0.049). Multivariable regression models found previous radiation (p = 0.049), arteriopathy (p = 0.012), location at lower limb (p = 0.09), and use of a flap (0.0048) associated with the risk of SSI/WC. CONCLUSIONS: Previous radiation is associated with an increased risk of amputation and reoperation for SSI/WC when treating a local recurrence. This information should be accounted for when deciding for the use of radiation.
