TL;DR: The use of patients' perceptions in determining the content of a new measure, The Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS), a reliable and valid measure that is able to detect change over time.

TL;DR: The authors' nomograms are reliable prognostic methods that can be used to predict overall survival and distant metastases in patients after surgical resection of soft-tissue sarcoma of the extremities and can be offered to clinicians to improve their abilities to assess patient prognosis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered whether a positive margin occurring after resection of a soft-tissue sarcoma of a limb would affect the incidence of local recurrence, and they found that patients with low-grade liposarcomas were expected to be a low-risk group as were those who had positive margins planned before surgery to preserve critical structures.

TL;DR: This study sought to determine if preoperative image‐guided intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IG‐IMRT) can reduce morbidity, including wound complications, by minimizing dose to uninvolved tissues in adults with lower extremity soft tissue sarcoma.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the differences in disability between amputation and limb-sparing patients are smaller than anticipated, and the differences may be more notable in measuring handicap.
