“…Questionnaires are commonly used to assess the HRQoL of patients who have undergone surgical procedures for STS treatment, as they enhance the understanding of targeted therapy and/or the development of new target therapies in the management of STS. 15 16 The literature emphasizes the MSTS 17 , 18 , 19 and the SF-36 17 20 as two reference questionnaires that effectively assess the HRQoL of these patients. Moreover, the MSTS can also evaluate lower limb functionality.…”

Myxoid liposarcomas are malignant soft-tissue sarcomas whose treatment represents a challenge, even for the most experienced surgeon. In this study, we report on our experience with the treatment of myxoid liposarcomas of the thigh. Our retrospective analysis included myxoid liposarcomas of the thigh treated with surgical resection between 2016 and 2022. Resection margins, complications, local recurrences, and metastases were recorded. The oncological outcome of each case was evaluated at their latest follow-up. Adjuvant therapies were administered according to the ESMO guidelines. Functionality was assessed with the MSTS score before surgery and at the patients’ latest follow-up. Thirty cases (ten high-grade and 20 low-grade) were included. The mean diameter was 11.8 cm. Twenty-four cases had wide margins (80%) and six (20%) were marginal. Five cases (60% marginal) had local recurrences (17%). Marginal resection was associated with a higher risk of local recurrence (p = 0.041). Three cases with high-grade tumors (10%) developed metastases. At the patients’ latest follow-up, their mean MSTS score had risen from 22.9 to 27.3. While tumor grade influences the risk of metastases, the quality of resection margins can determine the local recurrence rate. An adequate surgery can lead to good post-operative functional outcomes.
