Description
Jin Tao and co-authors ask when a second surgery should follow a flawed first surgery for soft tissue sarcoma in this 2026 paper. Sometimes these tumors are removed without a cancer plan, which is called unplanned excision. A planned re-excision then follows. Whether waiting three months for that second step is safe was unclear.
Records covered 104 patients treated between 2011 and 2019. One group had re-excision within three months, and the other waited longer. Five year survival was much the same in both groups. Local return of the tumor also did not differ clearly. Scan data in a small subgroup showed swelling shrinking while patients waited. The results support a short delay when care requires it.
