Most low-risk patients with completely resected POG low-grade NRSTS are successfully treated with surgery alone, and surgical margins greater than 1 mm may be sufficient to prevent local recurrence. Patients with intermediate- and high-risk low-grade NRSTS have outcomes similar to patients with high-grade histology, and require more effective therapies. Use of the current FNCLCC grading system may result in overtreatment of low-risk NRSTS curable with surgery alone.
