Call for improved design and reporting in soft tissue sarcoma studies: a systematic review and meta-analysis of chemotherapy and survival outcomes in resectable STS.
Researchers completed a meta-analysis of chemotherapy in localized STS, assessing OS, PFS, and local and distant recurrence. They found no benefit of chemotherapy over locoregional therapy alone for all-comers or site-specific STS. Recommendations to improve outcome reporting and quality indices are suggested.
