One hundred and seventy-one consecutive patients with soft tissue sarcomas were treated in the period 1977-1986. Of 144 patients with extremity sarcomas, only eight (6%) were managed with amputation. The overall estimated 5-year survival rate is 64%, and that for patients with extremity tumors is 71%. The 5-year local recurrence rate in extremity sarcomas was 6% for patients with minimum surgical margins 2 cm or greater and no further local therapy, and 6% for those with narrower surgical margins and adjuvant postoperative radiation; 80 patients (56%) were in the former group and 64 (44%) in the latter. With a selective combination of modalities, limb salvage can now be practiced in 94% of the patients with acceptable local control and survival rates.
