Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical features of alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) and assess its prognostic factors.Methods The clinical data of 28 ASPS patients from January 2006 to January 2009 were analyzed retropectively,and were followed up to get their prognosis.The survival analysis and risk factors were analyzed and compared.Results Two cases with soft tissue primary ASPS got recurrence after the first resection,the recurrence rate was 8.0% (2/25).After re-resection,no postoperative recurrence occurred.Three cases with bone primary ASPS did not have postoperative local tumor recurrence,but 2 cases appeared tumor progression and got pulmonary metastasis.All the patients had poor overall prognosis,11 cases survived without tumor,8 cases survived with tumor,9 cases died.The median survival time was 38.5 months,5-year survival rate was 46.4% (13/28),5-yeax survival rate of male patients was 50.0% (5/10),female patients was 44.4%(8/18),5-year survival rate between male and female patients had no statistical significance (P =0.260).The 5-year survival rate of patients without distant metastasis was 81.8% (9/11),while the rate of patients with distant metastasis (pulmonary,brain or bone metastasis) was only 23.5%(4/17),and the rates had significant difference (P =0.036).Age,gender had no significant relation with the prognosis,while tumor size,location and distant metastasis were the important factors affecting the prognosis.Conclusions ASPS commonly occurs in young persons.The hips and thighs are the most common sites ofsofte tissue primary ASPS.Prognosis has relation with distant metastasis,tumor size and part or thorough resection.The risk of recurrency and metastasis can be decreased through assessing disease condition as soon as possible,developing a reasonable treatment plan and wide resection of the primary tumor.
