Abstract:
Objective
To investigate the surgical treatment of patients with primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma (PRPLS).
Methods
The clinical data of 17 cases with PRPLS who have been undergone resection from January 1996 to March 2008 were retrosctively analyzed.
Results
30 operations were performed on 17 cases with PRPLS totally,13 cases were first-time operation,the others were second order operation or more.24 cases underwent total recection(80.0%),including 12 cases of organ combining resection(40.0%).5 cases underwent palliative resection,1 case underwent tumor biopsy only.
Conclusions
Resection is a standard treatment for primary and recurrent PRPLS.Palliative resection for advanced PRPLS can relieve compressing symptoms caused by tumor,improving the quality ofpatients'life and prolong their survival time.
